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,

Have voted for cup of tea here.

Have voted - it's not all that close now... keep canvassing, Norman and mates - how long is the poll open for (didn't read it properly Blush)

stealthsquiggle · 09/02/2011 13:09

I will get Mrs Christmas to stick a tray of croissants in the aga for you, Norman (she also does pizza if this turns into an all-nighter)

Oooh, thanks, stealth. The poll closes midnight tomorrow night, so could be a long job! As you can see from my latest profile pic, my mates and I have been working hard...
