|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Ha, it's all gone very quiet now ![]() Good one HappyTigger! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
ROFL...We will show them!!! Just ordered my new Davina DVD too. TwiddleTiggers Rule OK!!! - do we need cheerleaders? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
'TwiddleTiggers sign up here You need us after your festive cheer You just have to do 10 minutes a day Exercise the TwiddleTigger way!' Goooooooooooo Twiggers! Will that do? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
go on then I'll join. What do I have to do again???? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
sign me up ,I will be wii everyday |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Just sign up! Oh, and do what HappyTigger said up there at the beginning
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
![]() mmm.....not sure it s quite me but maybe I could be a cheerleader??! Cat x |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Cat you qualify for the 'do facial exercises in the form of smiling' bit. Your pics always make me laugh! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Cupcake, all you have to do is shown on the TwiddleTigger's pledge above. So a bit of bouncing and twiddling will make healthy forum peeps. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
I think I'm ready to take the plunge! I'll sign up and be a twiddlytigger. I can see I'm going to be in good, if rather select, company! Can we still minx occasionally? I have twiddled very dustily today, with the help of ES and YS - my garage, storeroom and workshop are tidied, swept and decluttered to the extent of two car loads of rubbish to the local tip/recycling centre. I'm a good twigglytiddler, I am!
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Perhaps "smile" should be my New Year word then Mrs T?! Cat x |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Mrs Twiddle and Tigger... I really really hate to say this but to me all of that is quite a natural way to live anyway. I ALWAYS eat a healthy diet...lots of salads, fruit, fresh food etc. I don't eat sweets or chocs. Mr C grows most of our veg as well so it's all organic. I do the exercise thing... I'm naturally organised...but how do you twiddle in style??? Do I need a fancy housecoat and fluffy mules??? I smile all the time...I even have the lines to prove it! ![]() And, despite everything, I still cling to my positive outlook on life!!! ![]() I could cut down on the alcohol I suppose...and maybe the minxing.....but.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Smile would be purrrrrfect for you sweetie. And LOTS of it huh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Cuppy, no cutting down on alcohol allowed. I'll stick with my one bottle a night thank you. I eat well too, I just need to move more. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Cupcake that is grand, for me having had ill health this year and cracked ribs, its my motivated to get going with the help of Mrs Twiddle...and have some fun along the way. I do the smiling bit and the positive bit, but there is never any harm in re-affirming all of the above, especially for me cos it gets lost when I bounce so much.... To Twiddle in style you have to have rubber gloves with tassles on, fluffy slippers and wear a fetching hat. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
So glad that a little alcohol is allowed! Can I wear ordinary rubber gloves if I smile a lot? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Mrs Twiddle I can imagine you in one of the Beatrix Potter books. You would be a twiddling about with your feather duster and an apron on. Suzie88 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Chickadee, you could also draw smiley faces on your rubber gloves too....
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Right I m ready for it...when do we start? have I got time for a nap first...?! ![]() Cat x |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote: ooh Mrs T...I just knew you liked it on the dark side!! So glad I don't need to give up alcohol! ![]() Tigger...I'm still with you...I could put a bit more effort into the twiddling that's for sure...and I'm definitely up for rubber gloves with tassells!
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Perhaps you could get some of those tassels from Ann Summers and do a bit of gyrating online. We would all then qualify for the smiley bit at least !! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
ooooh! Sonata I ll start practising the moves for that one!! Cat x
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
and you have to put I'm a proud and bouncy TwiddleTigger in your signature Or TwiddleTiggers Rule OK and goodytwoshoes can't nap ever she can twiddle instead!
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Cat, sit down a minute! You're making me dizzy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Ok that s me beat!!! Think I need a glass of wine and a lie down Cat x
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
We're so pleased you're here goodytwoshoes, welcome to the forum ![]() We're twiddling in the 'food and homes' section Jan 5th onwards, hope to see you there too! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
You re right goodytwoshoes! Don't let Mrs T get her claws into you...there s no rest!!!;) (only joking Mrs T you KNOW I m one of your biggest fans...probably the laziest too!) Cat x |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Cat you are hilarious. Have a drink love. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Don't mind if I do, cheers Mrs T! Cat x
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
a drink you fool, not a BATH! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Disappear for 5 mins and chaos has arisen....Ladies please can we have some form of order for the first Team Talk before the battle commences.(no chance ..)I think Mrs T is in agreement with this, all sparkley rubber gloves, posh aprons and leotards need to be ready for action from Monday 5th January when the TwiddleTigger Team hits the stage. (tassells can be purchased to help with additional Twiddling or Bouncing!!) ![]() There will be a match report at the end of each day - loosers and winners and how we can improve order of play. We are in it for the full season no half measures (even the wine glasses...). So three cheers "TwiddleTiggers Rule Ok" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Leopards? I haven't got a leopard. Cat, get me a leopard! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Your wish is my command oh highest one!! ![]() Cat x |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Mrs T...now you are not supposed to be taking the pis*.....LOL They can be supplied with orange and black stripes with tassels!!!!!!!
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
I've got my gloves ready.. ...just off to look for some mules! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Cat, you are better than a genie in a bottle ![]() Soz HappyTigger, could have sworn it said leopards and not leotards. I have an orange stripey leotard already! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Loving the gloves cuppy - do they come in orange too..
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
yep...got the mules as well..not my usual kind of thing but I guess they'll do...
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
You look silly with donkeys on your feet cuppy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Ewwwwww what has Cupcake just stepped in? doesnt smell too good... Someone get the team hose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
If it gets really really hot out here can I twiddle in๑the nudies |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
NO. You have to wear a leopard like the rest of us. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
No...No...No..against team rules..dont want any black eyes. Leopards can be purchased from team shop with or without tassells. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Twiddle Tiggers are on the bounce, They do not flag,nor do they flounce. A smile is guaranteed a day, If only to keep wrinkles at bay. Twiddle Tiggers like to dust, They do it quickly without a fuss. A shiny home and laptop to!!? So they may come and talk to you. All is done in ten minutes flat, First the ornaments and then the mat. Now should they stop just for a while, It's to plan the menu's,in good style. Twiddle Tiggers this is no whim, Be full of fun,and aim to trim. Please may I join you as well?
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
You can be our honorary cheerleader annemari! Love that tune! Pull up a leopard with tassles
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Annemari after that fantastic little ditty you are now going to be the Team Captain for the Cheerleaders....Welcome on board (can you PM that one too me please) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Eeeeeeek STOP MRS TWIDDLE we posted at the same time and said nearly the same thing eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek time for Tigger to go to bed.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
See you tomorrow! I've never had such fun talking about exercise. Now I have to actually do it! Night Team Tigger |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Please may I join? Motivation is sadly lacking so can I borrow some of yours? I have black tassels at the ready and a bottle of wine. Duncs |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Morning duncs! Yes, of course you may join but it's a little early for wine this morning, we love those tassles! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Thanks Mrs T. I'll save the wine for later. Have done 20 mins exercise, so a good start. Have a nice day. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Ummm, should I be doing something? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
O K.......can I join??Have rubber gloves but need tassels,black and pink please.I have an old Leopard but without stripes......wine is aplenty.....fluffy mules,well will have to do a glue job...am i in????Suee xxxPS face a bit frozen at mo but will manage a smile in a few days. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
I could be persuaded but feeling a little non-commital right now. Will think about it and get back. It sounds a bit like a resolution and I don't do resolutions! Does coughing regularly count as exercise?
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Wait 'til happyTigger gets here, she's in charge of admissions. Cat is the girl for leopards and annemari is chief cheerleader. I think you can get tassles in the team shop. And there aren't any resolutions sweetpea, you just have to smile a bit, that's all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
I don't have a problem smiling Mrs T so guess you can count me in.
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Mrs Twiddle, all admissions are cleared (phew thats better feel lighter already). However 2009 starts and how ever peeps would like to join our little team is good. If we can bring a little sunshine it our lives each day then its a TwiddleTigger job well done. Afternoon ducks (quack) ![]() I shall be exercising my arms later trying to tone up my biceps lifting a wine bottle filling up my glass then raising said glass quite a few times

Goodo HappyTigger! Can we clean up cuppy soon? She's a bit whiffy. I've been tinkering with my blog so my fingers are exercised for the day, YAY me! I'll join you in the biceptatron exercises after 6pm
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Are you a dinosaur Mrs T? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote: Cupcake, have you been stamping on my children again....LOL Hope you are smelling fresher this morning. My biceps are feeling tired this morning all that glass lifting last night, and the tummy holding in when getting off the sofa... ![]() Good morning TwiddleTiggers hope we are well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
I'm TwiddleTiggering my fingers on the laptop! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Good Afternoon Mrs T, I am Tiggering with my laptop and raising my right arm at regular intervals to drink some coffee..... Eeeek we are going to have to draw up a Team Talk for Monday....Does that mean that I have to go and look for my sensible head - cos I could be gone then for a couple of months as I cant remember where I hid it...
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Can I join the TwiddleTiggers, please? I shall agree to the five point pledge - can't run the risk of being given ten extra Twiddles!! Have to admit, I'm not too keen on point number 3, the Twiddling side of things - MUST TRY HARDER! - but should be able to give the others a good try. I feel that I can't really do any Twiddling until I sort out a leopard and some tassles! Loved your poem annemari. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Team talk is down to you TiggerHappy, I'll be up to my tassles in decluttering my Twiddlers on Monday! Your sensible head is required please - and can you tell me what to do on my treadmill? Love that leopard Alexp, suits you! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote: That passing the buck Mrs T..what happened to team work!!!!!! Eeek will have to now send my Junior Tiggers off to look for sensible head (can I include my daft one please cos it makes this healthy new life style stuff look alot more interesting for us Tiggers, I leave the really serious stuff to Owl)Advice on the treadmill is 1. Plug it in, dust it down and start off slowly walking at a gentle pace for the first week...I am going to go off and try and find my walking plan when I did my 16 mile walk year before last. But the most important thing that you do is build it up slowly and dont do too much to quickly. (eek need to lie down that sounded sensible) AlexP welcome aboard and loving the Leopard, Mrs T can supply you with additional tassells if needs be. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
I have to walk for a week?? I thought about 20 minutes would be a start
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Well you know the old Joke... "My mother went out for a walk.....15 days later she has still not come home" "My gym teacher told me to touch my toes. I said, "I don't have that kind of relationship with my feet. Can I just wave?" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Oh dear, I am going to be away for the weekend, back Monday afternoon so can't properly twiddle till then. Do I get punishment twiddles if I start late? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Monday afternoon? It's a date!
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Duncs, Twiddle punishments are issued by Mrs Chief Twiddler...it depends how she has got on that day and whether she has had a falling out with her treadmill or not....LOL |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Morning Ladies, 4 days and counting before you have to get you Twiddling equipment tassells intact and your Tigger bouncing gear on. 5th January is the start of the TwiddlerTiggers first Training Session. Mrs Twiddle will be standing on the side lines with her new broom and apron she will be keeping an eye on all Twiddlers. Tigger will be watching the activity section of the Team, we will join forces and discuss the Team efforts at the end of the day. So get those pedometers out, leopards on and hit the streets. This is the only serious post on the subject the rest of it will be fun fun fun all the way to slim and fitter TwiddleTiggers. TWIDDLE TIGGERS RULE OK New post will be put up on Monday 5th Jan..when I have de-phlemed myself completely...
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Bring it on TwiddleTiggers! I'll be here Jan 5th! Off to dry clean my leopards.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
I'm a bit confused actually. I've joined but I can't remember why? Can anyone enlighten me.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Cupcake - its got something to do with being silly like and a good way to carrying on being healthy, happy and fitter.... Go back to page one and try and remember ROFL... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Mrs Twiddle can I just say that new broom makes you look 10 years younger! On a very serious note I got in a bulk order of leopards but not sure they can wait till Monday...they re getting restless..... ![]() ![]() Helllppp! Cat x |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Cat your leopards have got large teeth, please keep them at arms length cos I dont want any stratch marks on my perfect body....ROFL |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Well just don't tease them with your tassles then Teasey Tigger...!!! They are keen and raring to go... I m practising my smiling by the way and i did 20 mins exercise thise morning, that s how long it took me getting from the horizontal to the vertical this morning when rising from my bed...a record methinks ![]() Cat x |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
LOL Sorry but my stripey tail does not sit still and has to wave at regular intervals ![]() Smiling is a great thing to be doing Cat and it uses up more muscles you go girl....Did you have a bit of a hangover missy this morning...
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Cat, you may have to feed them before I dry clean them, they look a little peckish. HappyTigger can't bounce with one of those on her! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Mrs Twiddle you could use your new broom to clean their teeth... If that lot of leopards came near me I would be bouncing off like a Tigger on Speed....LOL
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Cat, I think I look a little too young - and already HappyTigger is abusing my new broom so I've gone back to my more authoratitive look. Nice to see those pearlies smiling! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Mrs Twiddle..not seen this authoratitive side of you what does it look like, is it your good or bad side....LOL I pormise not to abuse your new broom any more...
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
It's my important side
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Oh can I have one too please, cos as Managers of the TwiddleTiggers we have to look important (in a silly fashion)...
|

Sunglasses make you look very managerial |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Would leg warmers be a useful addition? "What a feeling, da da, da da da!" We could Flashdance, and get fit while cleaning the skirting boards, or am I getting too carried away? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Ladies we now have our own song courtesy of our Chief Cheerleader Annmari. Bless her. I will be putting up a new post up on Monday to help us along the way... Mrs Twiddle with be giving us our Twiddling instructions as well... ![]() Tassells, leopards, and smiles at the ready for Monday ladies be TwiddleTiggered for ever ever and ever...

I've just posted on Your Lives to let all of you who are eagerly awaiting Happytigger's motivational pep talk for today that she has temporarily lost her bounce but is recovering well and normal service will be resumed asap but probably not until next week. |
||||||||
|
|

Thanks sweetpea, you're a pal! |
