So where's the cup of tea emoticon then?

I see we have a new wine glass emoticon! Jolly good! But some of us would prefer a good old cup of tea.

Do you think you could cater for the likes of us too?

Lots of love,

Norman x

Welcome, welcome and have a cuppa while you're at it!

I'm just trying to campaign for a cup emoticon, now there is a Wine one. I think it's a bit unfair on all us hot beverage drinkers.....

Not that I mind Wine but we need a bit of balance here I feel.....

You're up early, LadyP! I had my first cup at about 7.15. Have looked at the kettle rota, and it's Len's turn today, so he will be making the hot beverages.

Still no sign of any Mumsnet cups.....

Because the house is so quiet(everyone out) I can hear the house nagging for me to clean it, I'm not having any of that am getting back to bed.

So Norman how is your busy construction site today?

NormanTheForeman · 07/02/2011 11:49

Ahem - well, to be honest, it's not really that busy, except of course where tea drinking is concerned. My mates and I are just hanging around outside my portakabin drinking tea and eating biscuits at the moment. I'm sure we'll think of something else to do soon though. Ah, yes, must remember to check supplies of teabags, and do an internet shop if necessary.....

LadyPumpington · 07/02/2011 11:52

oooh sounds busy norman, so how do we go about getting more people on here?

TheNewStig · 07/02/2011 11:55

confessing that it's actually a coffee. Kids had me up 5 times between 12.30 & 5am so am struggling today. Seems to be price I have to pay for going to bed at 9.30

Thanks for the biscuits and jaffa cakes. Hands round the chocolate.

Sounds like a typical day on site then Norman! :o Anyone fancy drawing up the house elevations I'm meant to be working on or haven't you got a designer on site atm?

NormanTheForeman · 07/02/2011 11:57

Ah,no we don't have any designers on site. Most of the designs for things we have to build seem to have been done by someone at Playmobil, and come as an instruction booklet...Hmm

Do you think if I send my house plans to Playmobil in Germany they'd build me a scale model so I can visualise the space etc? (Am actually meant to be working on said plans)

Recruits in a tough one. Lissie's shop's quiet today too.

NormanTheForeman · 07/02/2011 12:06

I don't know, but it would be fun to see what your house looked like in Playmobil! Is Lissie's shop open today? I haven't seen it around....
