Ok, folks, hopefully someone can tell me I'm just asleep at the wheel and I've done something that's causing this probem.

My beloved thermomix is not working properly, the blades appear to be spinning but it's not actually mixing/chopping/grinding anything. The knead cycle doesn't show up on the display or work and the turbo button doesn't work.

And so close to Christmas, I could just cry. (Actually I did this morning when I found out, there is a ton of other stuff going on right now and this just tipped the balance from omgosh, is there a full moon, to "I just want this year OVER!")

So, er, any advice?

Hi everyone

I'm a Kiwi girl living in Melbourne with my hubby, two small boys and my TM 

I was GIVEN my TM by an employer/friend about 9 months ago and I have loved every moment of it. I think it's the best gift I've ever been given, not to mention the most expensive ! I even took it on holiday with me to Queensland at Christmas, had to twist hubby's arm on that one though.

I cook nearly everything from scratch now and am loving giving my family such wonderfully healthy food.

Looking forward to getting to know you and picking up some more fab recipes.
