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.

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.
-
HI Beechy, are you Lauren's dh? ;) welcome!!
-
Hi Shannon and welcome.

I think one's probably a handfull so more the merrier.
Brazen, Yes I'm Lauren' (Kaishra's) DH

Hi Shannon - You are a star! Well done.
I can't believe you were so busy yesterday after so little sleep :o :o :o "customer of the year!!" :-* :-*
p.s. Make sure you let Lauren have a turn some time lol ;)
-
Kathryn,
My boys were up at 530 that morning, so was I . Glad you got home Ok. Thank you very much for an awesome unit. Love it to death already.
-
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
-
Welcome Shannon,
Great to have you on board!!!! Keep enjoying your new found TOY!!!!!

Welcome Shannon. 5 Boys, I'm speechless. Thank goodness you have a tv, you never know what might have been!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
They are the cutest little boys too Cookie....but then again I could be biased as I am used to a lot of boys!! Shannon's eldest is very good at making bread rolls :P ;) ;) He was one of my helpers
-
Welcome Shannon ;D
-
Welcome! Wow - with 5 growing boy's your tmx is certainly going to get a good workout! All the very best!
-
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.
-
Welcome Shannon - sure the fun has only just begun ;D ;D ;)
-
Welcome Shannon! ;D
Can't wait to have you and Spanner on the same thread.... LOL!
-
Who's Spanner?
-
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.
-
Spanner is a man from Qld who has interesting posts - his earlier ones in particular

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!
-
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
-
Kitchen God :D
-
haha beechy, that's not the story i'm hearing ;) LOL
maybe you need to have one each? ;D
-
The only thing Lauren asked Kathryn to make in The Ripper was Coffee. She already has a coffee machine.
-
haha and in the end we didn't do it lol
-
Welcome Shannon. You will enjoy this forum so much now that you will have some time on your hands. LOL! Whataman! ;D
-
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!

or maybe the constant company of the BIL LOL
