Can we have a frown/worried emoticon??

FAQ · 23/10/2008 12:00

I know people hate adding more emoticons - but really the - doesn't really fit as a frown/worried look - and sometimes we don't want to look (as we're not sad)......there's nothing for it and I would like one.........

magic work - I mean magic word! LOL

RedOnHerBeheadedHead · 24/10/2008 18:10

DeadTech, you better give them one each - wouldn't want them to start a thread about MNTechs having favourites now would we!?

also I said please - maybe it's the magic work that did the trick (or treat)

PsychoAxeMurdererMum · 24/10/2008 17:56

was hoping with the axe wielding that I would be allowed them

but seems not to be.....

Deadtech - love 'em!

RedOnHerBeheadedHead · 24/10/2008 17:48

Yes... I got a Frank, because my head is beheaded, therefore DeadTech felt the need to replace my head with Frank's

Duh!

DraculaNeedsArteries · 24/10/2008 17:46

Arrhhh but do you know how you got a Frank?

I want a [ghost]...go on Tech you know you want to...

People primarily complained about teh turquoisness of the sad emoticon and felt it wasn't appropriate in many instances where it is used - which I agree with. But the others are fine.

FlameThrowersKillZombies · 24/10/2008 17:43

People really whinged about them?

I would have been pissed off at the changing the original ones, but have no issue with slotting in the other ones (spesh frank)

RedOnHerBeheadedHead · 24/10/2008 17:42

ok, so now I do want a hat!

RedOnHerBeheadedHead · 24/10/2008 17:40

i didn't want a hat!

PsychoAxeMurdererMum · 24/10/2008 17:40

ah, so that was where my axe went.

ok, if it worked for redhead, why won;t it work for me......????

RedOnHerBeheadedHead · 24/10/2008 17:40

threatened that DeadTech would become BeheadedDeadTech if I couldn't get a FRANK!

Plus....
I stamped my feet - maybe you ought to try it!

DraculaNeedsArteries · 24/10/2008 17:38

Hah you can't even manage a hat now [sticking out tongue]

But how come RedHead got to use Frank at 16:33???

How come you love her more than me??????

PsychoAxeMurdererMum · 24/10/2008 17:32

yes.......confusion is rife in my house too right now.

altho, so is PMT, and they dont; have one of those emoticons yet......I mean, does not even come close. PMT emoticon would have a mini explosion coming out of the top of the head.....

exactly pyscho - at the moment I'm not about everything I'm going on - although I am often worried/confused..... (well the latter is a permanent feature but we won't go into that

I dont think we should link to other sites smilies - only using mumsnet approved smilies is advisable....

PsychoAxeMurdererMum · 24/10/2008 17:29

why can;t we have a few more emoticons??

surely we need a range of emotions to prove our points occasionally.........

I mean, confused/worried is needed, and my axe wielding one() and I do think a yawn one would be good.

oh, and a troll one!!!

We will have to consult a higher power for the worried/confused emoticon.
