lol at Argos catalogue-type ignoring (a LOT of that going on in my house at the moment!)

We ARE hearing your eagerness to get your mitts on the Christmas emoticons but we rather fancy bringing them out with a bit of a festive flourish round about the end of term.

(We also need BigTech to get back from holiday and press the secret button.)

Helen - I think the more important issue here is WHO gave BigTech Annual Leave at such an important time of year?!?!?!?

HelenMumsnet · 05/12/2009 23:07

Well, we did try to stop him.

But he broke out of the padlocks once night when our backs were turned.

Never again, I can tell you...

dizzycringles · 06/12/2009 10:05

doesn't be know its Christmas Smiley time?!?!? shame on him

santaschristmascakeywakey · 07/12/2009 21:22

Wow, breaking out of his padlocks. Is BigTech the Hulk? Or more like Harry Houdini?

I hope that 'Christmas Smilies' are at the very top of BigTech's to do list when he gets back from his hols!

I'll send him a mince-pie/box of jelly babies/whatever's on offer at the time, to help him along in his work if it's needed.

Pssst, Dizzy, BigTech is back on the scene. He's been testing on the British Gas thread. Finger crossed that we won't have to wait too much longer. Am sooooo excited!

dizzycringles · 08/12/2009 21:05

cakeywakey - I think he's ignoring us

santaschristmascakeywakey · 08/12/2009 23:20

BigTech, yoohoo, over here! I hope you had a lovely holiday and that you've brought lovely nibbles back for your colleagues to get them in the festive spirit.

I love Christmas. As you can see, I already have my Christmas name on to get in the Christmas mood, and today was even singing Jingle Bells in the office.

What would really put the small plastic robin on my chocolate yule log is a spangly selection of Christmas smilies. I'd love to see them include, but not be limited to, santa hats/reindeer antlers/fairy wings on standard smilies and a special edition 'bah humbug' to go with the lovely biccie.

I understand that you probably have a to-do list as long as a slab of Stollen, but I am willing to resort to confectionery-related bribery if needed to get me those Christmas smilies sooner rather than later. Just tell me what your sweetie weakness is and it'll be winging it's way to you. And we can keep it just between you, Dizzycringles and me Ta.

Bah humbug

santaschristmascakeywakey · 10/12/2009 20:43

Dizzy I think you're right. We are being ignored now. Like naughty children who are making too much of a fuss.

just testing this one as it is not on the list.

SantaWears2shoes · 14/12/2009 19:46

Who caresthey look so cute is tragic though

santaschristmascakeywakey · 14/12/2009 20:00

Huoorayyyyyyy! I am no longer (and will now not progress onto in the manner of an spoilt brat . I can't stop and !

If I was a meaniepeg, I might be to find the lovely Christmas smilies had suddenly been slipped out, and would be that other people got their Christmassy mitts on them first. I'm not like that though . Honest .

Ahhhhhhhhh, that's better. Big kisses to BigTech and thank you MNHQ. Mwah!
