<jingles bells> It's the Christmas Name Change Competition - VOTING OPEN!

[DecorKateTheXmasTreeMumsnet]

Ho ho ho!

Yes, it's that most magical time of year, when MN becomes all festive and even more giddy. Put a Christmas spin on your nickname (demonstrated by moi), post on this thread with it, along with your old NN so we can see how clever you've been

Then we'll create a shortlist (judges decision is final ) and a poll, and you can vote for your favourite. And since it's Christmas, there'll be a prize for 1st place and runner up

Enjoy!

UPDATE: The poll is now open - you've got until tomorrow to vote for your favourite!

"Nickeldonkey - didn't you win already with the same name? More imagination needed as doing the same thing for several years is a bit like flogging a dead donkey. Best to give someone else a chance? Non? Though saying that, where IS AnyFuckerForAMincePie? That one deserves a life time achievement award!"

aha! - no, I came second to AF with her won-twice-in-a-row-with-the-same-name, with a similar name - I had chosen an Advent Triptych, where I was this, then nickeldonkeycarryamry and then nickeldonkeybethlehemsinsight, and when the competition time was, I was nickeldonkeycarrymary. So I thought this one might be in with a better chance, but it still isn't the best name change :(

When does this close? I thought it was last night?

I thought it was last night too

it says "yo uhave till tomorrow" and it was on tuesday she said it.
i've justrefreshed the poll and more votes have been cast.

the two leaders are neck-and-neck now.

I think you should give Chaos your votes nickel seeing as how you're bezzies.

@ DecorKate

message deleted by Mumsnet because Kate's an eejit

this must be THE BEST reason for a deletion. ever.

i fink people must have had a lot of disappointing non-deliveries this week!

(she's my bezzie, not vice-versa, she has to give me all her votes )

Look if it's booze Chaos can have it anyway, I don't drink.

Don't think I can stand much more of this.

Hmm. Last night was MNHQ Xmas party [taps nose]

[mixes alka seltzer for Kate]

Ohh...well that makes sense of what people were saying earlier then!

Poor things, we should cut them some slack.

it's still open....

( rooners - can I have it if it's booze? Chaos not allowed drinky )

(i may have made that last bit up - I'm very needy and I neeeed to win things!)

I think that you have all voted wrongly

Oh Nickel. I'll see what I can do. Except she is now catching up so I don't think I'll win, again.

sob

I haven't won anything since a lottery ticket on a cross channel ferry when I was about 9. 50p.

Oh no I did win a maths book once. That's so sad isn't it. sad sad sad vote for me you meanies

@BitOfFunWithSanta

When does this close? I thought it was last night?

So did I. So. Did. I.

We'll announce the winner tomorrow. I think. And it will all make sense.

so when does it close?

Please close the polls at some point before tomorrow - I really can't take any more! I don't care if she wins. I just need it to be over before I lose the plot entirely.

you're still winning :)

ooh I like the top three sweating it!

Kate can you close voting on Christmas Eve, please?

[cruel]

Zing!!!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo

top 2 sweating it - i'm not even in the running anymore.

although, I might have a chance to claw it back if it closes on christmas eve....
[evil grin]

didn't even notice that Soupy has overtaken me!

Voted.

This needs a sticky on it so peeps know to vote.

I think it's only stickied on site stuff - not on active.

I kind of like being in the front running, actually, but if it goes on much longer I probably won't stay there - so am enjoying it while I can

Thankyou again everyone for this moment of pleasure.
