I know people hate adding more emoticons - but really the - doesn't really fit as a frown/worried look - and sometimes we don't want to look (as we're not sad)......there's nothing for it and I would like one.........

I don't like the sleep one, it's moving. Smacks of tickers and other-parenting-site stuff. otherwise,

Are these the ones that were made "live" and caused mass hysteria??

Unfortunately they wont....

You have the Halloween smilies with the hats and that all folks.

The other ones are the smilies i created and everyone didnt like so they are not going to be available either.

I have created a page so the people who did like them can still see them, unfortunately just not able to use them.

You can link to them if you like although it will only be a text link.....

so no worried/confused emoticon then

TheWomanWhoAteTraffic · 24/10/2008 17:27

What if the links of emoticons from similar sites were used here? Do they work? would we get told off?

MNHQ
DeadTech · 24/10/2008 17:27

We will have to consult a higher power for the worried/confused emoticon.

PsychoAxeMurdererMum · 24/10/2008 17:29

why can;t we have a few more emoticons??

surely we need a range of emotions to prove our points occasionally.........

I mean, confused/worried is needed, and my axe wielding one() and I do think a yawn one would be good.

oh, and a troll one!!!

DeadTech · 24/10/2008 17:29

I dont think we should link to other sites smilies - only using mumsnet approved smilies is advisable....

exactly pyscho - at the moment I'm not about everything I'm going on - although I am often worried/confused..... (well the latter is a permanent feature but we won't go into that

PsychoAxeMurdererMum · 24/10/2008 17:32

yes.......confusion is rife in my house too right now.

altho, so is PMT, and they dont; have one of those emoticons yet......I mean, does not even come close. PMT emoticon would have a mini explosion coming out of the top of the head.....
