Ho ho ho!

Yes, it's that most magical time of year, when MN becomes all festive and even more giddy. Put a Christmas spin on your nickname (demonstrated by moi), post on this thread with it, along with your old NN so we can see how clever you've been Xmas Smile

Then we'll create a shortlist (judges decision is final Xmas Wink) and a poll, and you can vote for your favourite. And since it's Christmas, there'll be a prize for 1st place and runner up

Enjoy! Xmas Grin

UPDATE: The poll is now open - you've got until tomorrow to vote for your favourite!

nickeldonkeyonadustyroad · 19/12/2013 16:52

you're still winning :)

IHeardMummyDissingParcelforce · 19/12/2013 16:28

Please close the polls at some point before tomorrow - I really can't take any more! I don't care if she wins. I just need it to be over before I lose the plot entirely.

nickeldonkeyonadustyroad · 19/12/2013 16:21

@BitOfFunWithSanta

When does this close? I thought it was last night?

So did I. So. Did. I.

We'll announce the winner tomorrow. I think. And it will all make sense.

Oh Nickel. I'll see what I can do. Except she is now catching up so I don't think I'll win, again.

I haven't won anything since a lottery ticket on a cross channel ferry when I was about 9. 50p.

Oh no I did win a maths book once. That's so sad isn't it. sad sad sad vote for me you meanies

CarolPrankster · 19/12/2013 16:07

IHeardMummyDissingParcelforce · 19/12/2013 16:03

Ohh...well that makes sense of what people were saying earlier then!

Poor things, we should cut them some slack.

MmeCinqAnneauxDor · 19/12/2013 16:02

Look if it's booze Chaos can have it anyway, I don't drink.

Don't think I can stand much more of this.

TaraLott · 19/12/2013 15:31

I think you should give Chaos your votes nickel seeing as how you're bezzies. Wink

nickeldonkeyonadustyroad · 19/12/2013 15:22

it says "yo uhave till tomorrow" and it was on tuesday she said it.
i've justrefreshed the poll and more votes have been cast.

the two leaders are neck-and-neck now.

OLittleTownOfBarflehem · 19/12/2013 15:10

I thought it was last night too Xmas Confused

When does this close? I thought it was last night?

nickeldonkeyonadustyroad · 19/12/2013 14:57

Aurelia
"Nickeldonkey - didn't you win already with the same name? More imagination needed as doing the same thing for several years is a bit like flogging a dead donkey. Best to give someone else a chance? Non? Though saying that, where IS AnyFuckerForAMincePie? That one deserves a life time achievement award!"

aha! - no, I came second to AF with her won-twice-in-a-row-with-the-same-name, with a similar name - I had chosen an Advent Triptych, where I was this, then nickeldonkeycarryamry and then nickeldonkeybethlehemsinsight, and when the competition time was, I was nickeldonkeycarrymary. So I thought this one might be in with a better chance, but it still isn't the best name change :(

nickeldonkeyonadustyroad · 19/12/2013 14:54

what did I miss?
who criticized me?

we do put our own names forward - this thread goes "who's changed their name and wants to win a prize?" and we all go " me please!", then MNHQ goes "we liked these ones the best out of all the names" and we all then go "this is the one I like the bestest of those"

:)

nickeldonkeyonadustyroad · 19/12/2013 14:52

Kate - can I swap my votes with Chaos please?
we're bezzy mates, and share everything anyway, so it won't be a hardship.
I know she really wants me to win Xmas Grin
pleeeeeeeeeeease?

IHeardMummyDissingParcelforce · 19/12/2013 14:06

No idea as I missed her posts entirely!
