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,

I'll have a cuppa if there's a brew on Norman! (I have jammy dodgers to share!)

Do MNTowers not realise that Norman is MN Royalty and his demands must be met Shock?

c'mon, MN Towers - he is prime minister, after all....

I am so not MN royalty, stealth! But thank you for considering me to be so. Now bacon sarnies sound like a good idea. Better not eat too many biscuits....

Yes, you wouldn't want to iron the laptop! I may have to go and supervise SoMuch doing some more cleaning, but will be along again later.....

TheNewStig · 07/02/2011 14:08

new recruits to Norman's campaign. Welcome.

Congrats to the LilRed's

Bacon sarnie for lunch, perfect. Thanks. Will go perfectly with the cuppa I'm about to have with my lunch. Need to thaw out, just hung out a load of laundry on the line and the wind's really howling here. Can I save my jammie dodger for later?

TheNewStig · 07/02/2011 14:09

Have had a look, and it seems that LadyP has already mentioned our campaign on there. Thank you LadyP.

I have posted on the tea rooms Farmhouse thread. They are very kind there, and asked me to stay for a cuppa, so I am hoping we may get some support from them!

I 100% support a Tea Cup Emoticon...so long as I can pour coffee into mine!

TheNewStig · 07/02/2011 15:31

Any hot beverage is fine Tee, welcome to the campaign.

LadyPumpington · 07/02/2011 15:34

Not a prob Norman it's all in the name of tea.

We are not beverage-ist on this thread. You can fill your cup with whatever you like to drink. It just so happens tea is my personal favourite, but the cup emoticon is what we are asking for!

ambarth · 07/02/2011 16:27

I support this

hellymelly · 07/02/2011 16:34

I support this too-but think maybe a tiny espresso emoticon would be good too.And a box of chocolates.And tissues?

NormanTheForeman · 07/02/2011 16:35

Yay for more supporters!

I now think my suggested box of tissues emoticon is indespensable!Think of the multi-uses...sad because DH has eaten all the biscuits? Had a rough day with your toddler? Or cough..the friday night bumsex threads? Take a tissue ladies and gents,and a nice cup of whatever.
