Hello all

As you may know, we do like a bit of healthy competition here at MNHQ, and Shrove Tuesday seemed as good an opportunity as any to sort the wheat from the chaff. Come and watch our Mumsnet Big Toss video and tell us who you think wins the toss - based on ambition, style, grace or determination. Alternatively, tweet us @MumsnetTowers using #MMBigToss - and do share far and wide if you like it!

I would have to say Sue for sheer precision.
But Justine gets points for the whole Herbal Essences thing she had going with her hair...

Kveta · 05/03/2014 09:52

Sarah did well with minimal experience, so I'll say Sarah :)

AnneEyhtMeyer · 05/03/2014 10:44

I vote Sarah just because she looked so pleased to have managed it.

Griftymoo · 05/03/2014 12:02

My vote is for Sue, she clearly takes pancake tossing very seriously - gold medal winner for sure.

Amy MNHQ -

We shouldn't have to tell you. You only get one chance at these things.

If not this, then just what have Nigel Lythgoe, Arlene Phillips, Simon Cowell, Ashley Banjo and Bruno Tonioli taught us huh?

When performing for your audience, you should always bring it.

HannahHorvath · 05/03/2014 13:19

Amy -

I believe the correct phrase at this point would be..

You just got served (by Justine)

OwlCapone · 05/03/2014 16:41

TBH, in these circumstances you probably have to weigh the Biggest Tosser trophy against how much you love your job.

everythingiknow · 06/03/2014 11:17

You're all awesome tossers (in the best possible way...) Grin MNHQ must be the most fun office to work in, I bet you spend all your time laughing....

Justine, you were amazing, but you are The Boss (and obviously a good one, not a tyrant) therefore you'll have the magnanimity to allow one of your underlings to succeed (therefore gaining even more loyalty and adulation points all round...)
Sarah, you stood out for being the only one not sporting what appears to be The MumsNet Hairstyle, which very nearly got you my vote (this may not have much to do with pancakes...) I also liked your cheeky grin;
Sue, your cool, no-nonsense approach won my undying admiration;

but Amy it's gotta be YOU, because you are the youngest, showed lots of promise and style, and it's so important to encourage the yoof of today! Grin You get my vote.

Oh bugger, spose you're right [sulks]

PetiteRaleuse · 07/03/2014 23:45

So who won ?

ExcuseTypos · 08/03/2014 08:40

Whispers so Justine can't hear- I think she may be hoping this thread diescos she knows she hasn't won

I suggest the others threaten to carry on tossing every Tuesday as a protest, until a final winner is announced.

yegodsandlittlefishes · 08/03/2014 08:50

I vote Sarah as she looked the most surprised to discover that the pancake landed in the pan.

Own up, how many of times did pancakes have to be peeled from the floor or ceiling to make this video? Grin

SheherazadeSchadenfreude · 08/03/2014 08:56

Sue.

Justine was just showing off. Grin

Bonsoir · 08/03/2014 08:59

Justine wins for the Kate Middleton tummy flash alone Grin
