Introducing the new Cadbury chocolate emoticon! Share your chocolate-worthy moments of joy and rate them on the Joy-O-Meter - 1x £200 voucher to be won NOW CLOSED

[AngelieMumsnet]

We’re pleased to announce that here at MNHQ, we’ve worked with Cadbury to create a shiny new chocolate bar emoticon

There are many occasions when a MNer may deserve a chocolate bar, and a moment of joy after your DCs have done something you’re particularly proud of may be one of these key moments. The more joyful the moment, the higher it might rate on the Joy-o-meter.

Cadbury say “What we’ve created in partnership with Mumsnet is a fun addition to the MN emoticon family which allows people to share their love of chocolate and how they feel about it. It’s something we feel passionately about in Cadbury and anything which brings people together in the joy of chocolate is a great moment to be embraced. Of course, we prefer the real thing, but who knows where the future will take these little emoticons so let’s wait and see ”

So, what have your DCs done in the past couple of weeks that brought you some joy? Maybe your DC made you a cup of tea for the first time? Perhaps you’ve finally succeeded in potty-training? Or maybe your DC has done their homework without you reminding them? How would you rate this moment on the Joy-o-meter: 1 to 5 chocolate bars?

Whatever your moment of joy was, we’d love to hear about it!

Share your stories here, and offer a bit of chocolate to your fellow MNers if you like – everyone who adds a comment will be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will receive a £200 John Lewis voucher.

Thanks and good luck
MNHQ

Both DD's got a distance swimming badge last week - very joyful, as they both worked very hard to achieve it

The way my older two children took to their baby brother in the summer has been amazing - both DS1 and DD have been fantastically helpful. Definitely worth

Plus DS1 has done really well in Yr1, with his swimming and language lessons.

Ds 5 has a severe speech delay and was functionally mute in school until this year,, he's come on so much and this week has been his best ever, from coming top in maths evaluations to surprising us being the Shepard in his Carol service (only 9 children had individual parts) to singing carols in two languages to his baby sister. We are super proud and he certainly earned his chocolate buttons on the way home Friday!!
