I've dinged me rim!

[Harmony]

My TMX has been leaking when I've had large volumes of liquid at high speeds  Not disastrous, just a bit messy and annoying. Checked the seal over and over. Noticed, finally, that the rim of the bowl is slightly dented  I'm clumsy, I drop the poor thing regularly. Obviously on just the wrong spot a while ago 

Any advice? Hubby normally volunteers to fix such things but hasn't at this stage

Bugger - it may pay to try getting a new lid seal to start.  I was amazed how loose the seal had become when I purchased a new one.

Can hubbie do any panel beating?

Have you got accidental loss or damage on your home contents insurance?
If so and your excess is only low eg $100 you could claim a new bowl.
I adjusted my policy so that it covers my TMX and other posessions like cameras if I drop it or it gets damaged when I fly with it.

Harmony, dropping the TMX would feel like dropping a baby to me I drop the MC quite often and it bounces everywhere but isn't that expensive to replace. The price of the bowl - well, that's a different matter. You say you are clumsy and have dropped it several times - maybe you need to slow down because you are going to have to replace it if it gets too many dents around the rim.  Not even a new seal will fix that problem.  I'm generally a bull-at-a-gate myself but not when it comes to my TMX - I treat it with kid gloves.  Hope you can fix the problem without having to buy another bowl.

Oh Harmony, that's a b..@3#...r. (jolly nuisance)

Harmony, I have done the same to mine multiple times. I have just molded it back into shape as best as i can. I have never had any problems with it leaking though. Even the smallest of splits in the seal can make a difference so might be worth replacing. They are about $25.

Thanks for the replies, I'll get DH to bend it back. I don't think our contents insurance covers breakage and stuff, have to look into that when it's up for renewal. Slow...down? What does that mean??? I have 3 small children - any time I actually get to do something without 'help' I have to go very fast, or we wouldn't eat, YK?

[riv_mum]

lol soooo totally know what you mean!!! Its the same in my house, actually cooking tea without "help" is a luxury!

[faffa_70]

lol I hear you ladies, cooking anything without help is a luxury in this house! All for the greater good though

Would love to live in a country where its common to have household help...cooking, cleaning, washing, making beds, looking after kids etc. Quite often I deal with overseas people who bring their hired help with them on holidays as I think they get quite dependant on them. Makes me think sometimes that Australia may not be the Lucky Country after all? lol

[brazen20au]

i have so much help lately it's not funny lol and i wish i could say it awas the hired kind and not the under 10 kind lol

It will pay off when they're older and will say 'Mum I'll cook dinner tonight"
