mumsnet have a lovely flowers emoticon. they call it thanks
could we have one please for congratulations or sympathy or maybe thinking of you/

What a good idea. There have been a number of times when it would be appropriate to add an extra little something to a posting but smiles and grins weren't right and tea and wine seemed callous.

Perfect. Flowers would be very useful. GNHQ, we will send you some if you get the emoticon for us!

That sounds lovely, what a good idea!

We've already asked tech for this. We'll give him a nudge.

GeraldineGrasnnet Give him some flowers, not a nudge. smile

GeraldineGrasnet ...can I again request a 'can't stop laughing' smiley ...pretty please!! smile

Geraldine I have fiddled a bit and made what might be described as a potted plant icon, the same size as the emoticons, and uploaded it to my photos (with a wide white border because it insisted on stretching it to be a better size to display!!! And then it went all blurry. Had to start again).

Would it be any use as a flower emoticon? I suppose it needs techy stuff done to it before it would work....?

Looks good, Ele. Clever stuff.

Thanks so much for your kind efforts, Elegran! I'm sure Tech could do with an assistant if you've ever got a spare minute grin

However, Tech have already got cracking on the emoticon that Mumsnet have, it should be with us very soon...

Now that we have this new emoticon, this thanks is for everyone who sent good wishes and then congratulations when my 'baby' had her baby! It was great to feel the support and concern. Long live Gransnet!
