I followed Gert's instructions in an older thread, but of course I still see my own address. Would someone please tell me if it is still visible to others?

Hi all, I've been reading/lurking since the 4th, when I put in my order.

I've been waiting for 8 years to finally get a TM, so why does '6-8 weeks' feel so long???

What a great resource you have created here! After reading reviews, I ordered For Food's Sake and have also been collecting things online that I want to try and pondering how I can adapt some of the things I already do. Now I've got another impossibly long list of ideas from you all! I know, possibly a bit ambitious/premature for someone who's never actually used a Thermomix 😊.

I don't think I will be using my new friend for many complete dinners, but more as another (younger and stronger) pair of hands in the kitchen. Not a big fan of risotto, but very fond of polenta and its kin, scrapple, neither of which I've been making the last few years as my hands have been letting me down. Also really, really looking forward to retiring my old mortar and pestle.

So, here I sit, waiting, waiting, waiting. I've even already named my new friend (this is like waiting to bring home a new puppy!). Sous Sous, a nod to the ever helpful, cheerful and uncomplaining middle child on The Middle, the one who makes the best of what she's given, as I trust my new friend will 😉

As I cook only for myself, and dinners for my mum, I'm looking forward to having a great time playing!

Thanks for running such a helpful and nice forum, I look forward to contributing, after I finally take delivery.
