Title: I'm new so "G'day"
Post by: Beechy on August 30, 2009, 06:07:06 am
G'day All,
We only got our TM on friday night and it's now Sunday morning and I recon I've used it ten times already.
My name is Shannon, I'm a married and father with 5 boys, 5, 4, 2 , 1 and 4 months. Yes we have a TV.
When my wife came home a couple of months ago and said we gotta get one of these it does this and that and everything else and by the way it ONLY cost $1900. "Bulls**t" was my answer. Being a totally whipped father who cooks all our meals I caved in. Thank God I did this machine rocks.
Looking forward to find heaps of new recipies.
Beechy

Hi Shannon, welcome to the forum.  5 boys!!! Are they a handful or after 3 it doesn't make any difference! Glad to see you are the main cook in the home - should be more of them ;) ;) ;)  Sounds like you already know this was the best purchase you have ever been talked into buying - enjoy.

So glad you are in love with it as it was a rather eventful start to your TMX life lol

You won't cringe any longer when the boys tell you they are hungry now! - they will come running as soon as they hear the lid lifted off the bowl  :P

Hi Shannon, Pleased to meet you.

I too am the only cook for my family (although we number only 4) & as a result, the TMX price wasn't a big turn off.  (You mean I can put dinner on & walk away ??? )

I haven't been sorry I bought it & presently I haven't even begun to put it through it's paces like some of the others around here.

I am in awe Shannon, a man who is prepared to have 5 children & then feed them too.............astounding!!

You will certainly get your moneys worth out of your TM, no doubts about it.

I got an email from Shannon's wife today....she has had plenty of time to email cause Shannon won't get out of the kitchen lol  ;D ;D The list he has made was endless - he is a superstar!
Title: Re: I'm new so "G'day"
Post by: Beechy on September 01, 2009, 09:35:34 am
my wife is either on the computer, sleeping, watching TV or shopping, never is she in the kitchen. The TMX was brought for me.
I wouldn't go so far as to say "superstar"  more of a Champ or a God.lol

Hi there!  I got asked if I had a TV when I was pregnant with number 4 (we're all done now!).  It took a minute for the penny to drop (but then again I was pregnant!)

Good to hear that you've made so much use of your TM already.

I get mine on Tuesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I got $1 for everytime I heard the line " haven't you got a TV" I would own about 5 TMX's and my own house.

Same here Shannon.. I have 4 cherubs

I have some pretty good responses now though....

Yes, I have a TV, learnt everything I know from it... ;)

Oh yes, they're great for background noise.

TV? Oh do you have to turn them ON???

 :P

I tell em its what we watch on TV that causes the Kids.
I got asked the other day if they were all mine. To Laurens disgust I said loudly "no, there are 4 other fathers, today is just my turn"

When DH and I first married my brother was very concerned that we didn't have a TV. We couldn't actually afford one. (40+years ago) So he bought us a small one-of course it was black and white. He used to spend a lot of time with us and I think that perhaps he thought he may be usurped by a baby. (He wasn't for 10 years) Boy did that TV really work effectively!
