So where's the cup of tea emoticon then?

[NormanTheForeman]

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,

::Refills the mug::

Alas, my child's too old for Playmobil and what little she has lies untouched and neglected in the festering pit that is her bedroom. Apart from what disappeared up the Hoover years ago.

Ah well, never mind. Actually I'm quite worried about what will happen when my owner grows out of Playmobil...... Will I be abandoned in a cupboard somewhere - or - worse still...... thrown out!!!

We are planning to poll on this most serious of issues, on account of there being a corrosive and undermining split in opinion at the Towers - some say it's only natural, some say it's the start of the slippery slope...

Consequently HelenMumsnet has promised to build it tomorrow morn and then we shall let you, the Mumsnetters, decide. So, until tomorrow!

Oh, Norman. How would you feel

::places hand gently on your moulded plastic shoulder::

about being donated to a pre-school? Many of our old toys live on that way.

Ooooohhhh! Justine! Thank you so much!!!!

Now all we have to do is persuade all the lovely Mumsnetters to vote for it!

Thanks justine! Hurry up Helen.

Actually Maud, my owner has promised he will always keep me, and I'm sure SoMuch will also look after me. I'm just so excited at the possibility of a

Oooh. Democracy will prevail unless you manage to rig the vote.

Well, I'm sincerely hoping there will be no need for vote-rigging! I'm not into those sort of underhand tactics myself. No, I'm sure those of us who love a hot beverage will speak! Onwards and upwards, and don't forget to vote when the time comes!

Hurrah!

Fresh cup of tea all round to celebrate!!

Thanks LadyP!

Now, we mustn't be too premature in our celebrations. This is only the first step. We still need to campaign so that people will vote for the cup emoticon....

Thanks Lady P, I needed that right now.

Drawn up the Tea Cup Manifesto yet Norman?

Sure Norman whatever you say. I'm quite getting into the playmobil thing(at my advanced age) I wouldn't mind taking you in Norman!

I'm working on it, NewStig! Good thing that SoMuch I don't have to be out too much tomorrow, so I will be here to do a bit of campaigning. And to vote of course....

Good thing norman I will be out so maybe can't campaign but keep up the good work!

I will do! We need all the help we can get!

Am getting very excited about voting!

Vote for Cups! Vote for Cups!

We want [cups], we want [cups]!
What do we want?
[cups] [cups] [cups]
When do we want them?
now, now, now

:o

Well, I can see that the snigger and catsbumface have merits. Not so sure about the eye roll, as it's similar to the hmm emoticon we already have....

Just be ready to vote, NewStig! I'm not sure when voting will start, hopefully MNHQ will let us know...

Ah, I have nothing against but do love a good hot beverage!
