Arming yourself with knowledge

[judydawn]

Ayla, I see you are doing a lot of reading (and some posting too of course) so that when you receive your TMX you will have aquired a lot of knowledge about this amazing piece of equipment.  Good on you.  I did mine after I had it for around 6 months and had many failures - like you, should have done it sooner. Will be interested to hear from you as soon as you start making things - what you like, what you didn't etc.  Good luck with it.

Hey thanks! It's a habit of mine lol, I'm a careful decision-maker eg I looked into homebirth a good 18mths before we were even considering kids, heh

It really is great to have so many people contributing to the forum - when I started there was brazen's blog, Dani's blog, Ximena at Lobstersquad in Madrid, and that was about all for Thermomix in English.

It would be interesting to know how many people don't get full use from their machines because of lack of "support".  Many feel embarrassed to ask their demonstrators.

Demonstrators probably don't have the time to contact all their clients to see how they are going, to pass on tips and recipes etc which they must pick up on their journey but I am sure if we were to contact them they would answer all of our queries. It is easier and much more fun though to talk to fellow owners of the TMX through this site.

i guess it depends how you do it though - when i was a tupperware demonstrator i sent monthly emails with recipes, tips, specials etc. it did take a few hours to do but certainly much easier and quicker than calling everyone! (plus i hate the phone lol)

If only every demonstrator was like you Karen but I did get some recipes recently from my lass so perhaps that will be the first of many.  Like you, I'd rather be at my computer than on the phone!
