Introduce Yourself / Re: Help me buy a TMX
« on: May 21, 2012, 01:48:19 am »
Gosh, it's been a few months now that I've been a TMX owner and I couldn't be happier. It's been a busy time for me and so I haven't contributed to this forum at all but rest assured that my TMX has been put to good use and I have been known to lurk here on many an occassion.  ;)

I really enjoy visiting this forum and hope to be able to contribute more in future. You've all been so helpfull and kind to me. i really appreciate it.

Now what will I whip up tonight with my chicken fillets? Hmm...  8)

Today I ordered one of these after seeing Nigella use one for a cheesecake in her current series showing on TV. 

It comes with a ceramic base so no having to remove it from the base to serve.  Isn't supposed to leak either even when filling with thin liquids like in the video.  Only time will tell of course, but I like the look of it enough to give it a try.  :D

That looks great. Where did you find it? What's it called please?

I really want to make that cheesecake now. ;)

Dear Dot,
You've done it and we're with you all the way.  Hope all is well with your delivery and that the Thermomix assists and enriches your life.
Good luck!
cecilia

Ha ha! Yes I did and I managed to talk someone else into buying one as well. I am still considering the consultant route but for now, I'm one very happy camper with my dream machine sitting on my bench cooking our dinner and bread rolls in the oven.  ;D

I've waiting 4 long years to buy a TMX and after a few days of owning one, I am still pinching myself. I LOVE IT!!

Thanks JB. It will be 3 weeks this coming Wednesday since I ordered at my demo. My consultant is lovely. I think there's some sort of holdup at HO. She contacted HO and they told her some time early this week.  :-)) I must admit that I'm a tad disapointed at how long it's taking. I thought I'd have it in a week or so. I was very seriously considering being a demonstrator myself but this has put me off. I will ring HO myself this morning to enquire.

Not to hijack this thread or put a dampner on it. Please let me congratulate you MrsKelly on the purchase of your machine. I've been waiting 4 years for the circumstances to be in my favour for purchase of this beauty. I'm so excited now I can hardly stand myself. LOL! Even the wait has not put me off the fact that I will have this absolutely amazing machine on my kitchen bench very soon. Yay!

So exciting!! Can't wait to hear what you make first in yours MrsKelly.  ;)

What about a regular "chat"?

Some 10 or 12 years ago when I was newly hooked up to the www, I would often drop into chat rooms that were of interest to me. Back then I was sewing and crafting quite a bit. I loved it. Haven't done it in many many years.

Just a thought.  ;)

Ah, no iPad here.  :(  Thanks for sharing anyway Tarasis.

Maddy, Living Cookbooks looks pretty darn good.

You guys seem so organised. Organised I am not.  :-))

Chit Chat / Blender: TMX v Vitamix
« on: November 01, 2011, 12:03:38 am »
Recently I've been having smoothies. Actually 'roughies' in my Magimix blender. LOL.

I'm wondering if anyone has a Vitamix blender and can give me a comparison. I don't own either the TMX or the Vitamix. I plan on buying a TMX in coming months and am wondering if the blending will be as 'super' as the Vitamix or more like the Magimix which I already own. I don't think I could talk my hubby into the fact that I may *need* a Vitamix (at around AU$900) as well as a TMX.

I realise the TMX does a whole LOT more. I'm not debating if I need one over the other. Just if I need to consider a Vitamix down the track as well. Heaven forbid.  :-))

Thanks CreamPuff. Looks like someone else fixed it for me.  :) Thank you mystery spell checker.  :D

Cookie, I think he'd find Seymour a different place to what it was many years ago. Sadly not better. <sigh> I live in a neighbouring town. It's cute and quaint. Hubby is related to almost the entire town. Ha ha!

I want to say thank you to all you lovely folk who have helped answer a few questions. I really appreciate you all taking the time to help me. I'm still thinking hard about this and haven't made any firm decisions.

Kylie, as it happens, I'm not that far south of the GV area. Down around Nagambie/Seymour region. Now I'm fascinated to know that there is only one consultant in the GV district. That's really serious food for thought.  ;)

PS: I can't believe I misspelled a word in my "subject" line.  :-)) Doh!

Hooly dooly, I just typed out a nice long reply and when I hit "spell check" it disappeared.  :o  Hmmm...

Thanks for your replies ladies. I appreciate you taking the time.

The lady that showed me the TMX never at any point mentioned anything about becoming a Demonstrator. So I guess what I'm really wanting to know is:

How much does it cost to join?
Do I need to buy a TMX first or is this a possible way to somehow gradually purchase a TMX for myself?
We are on a super tight budget and could do with extra income. Is this realistically a way to earn money or is it in actual fact going to cost me more?

I am asking because I know without a doubt that I already adore this machine and will love it more when I own one (one day  :-))). I will be more than happy to share the love but not at my own expense (dollar wise) as we don't have the $$ to spare.

I live in rural Victoria. Kinda NE central. I feel this should also be taken into account with regards to my consulting question.

Introduce Yourself / Help me buy a TMX
« on: October 07, 2011, 02:23:59 am »
If first heard about thermomix on a forum somewhere about 18 months ago. I think I decided that I needed one right about then. About 6 months ago, my mum hosted a demo for a friend of hers so of course I went along. Oh my! I knew this was going to be great even before I went, but after seeing it, I just knew I really *needed* one of these little beauties. The lady that did the demo did a poor job of demonstrating it in my opinion and only ever did the one demonstration before leaving the company however, I was still sold.

I have a problem in that I am in no earthly way able to afford to buy myself a Thermomix.  :'( However I can't help obsessing about it. Ha! I bet most of you here understand that. I'm wondering if you are able to share some of the financial benefits of becoming a consultant. I work part time but heaven knows we could do with some extra cash. I already know that I love the TMX. I'm also accutely aware that these are tough times we live in and I would not be the 'Lone Ranger' in wanting one of these machines but not being able to afford one.

Does signing up as a consultant help with the cost of purchasing a machine? Are there any benefits financially? If I had the money, I would not be asking these questions. I would just buy one, sign up and share the love but it's a heck of a lot more difficult and complicated than that in reality for me.

Hope to hear some input from those that may have been in a similar position and found a solution.

Cheers, Dot (in rural Victoria)
