Title: Mum of eight awaiting new arrival....
Post by: Breezy on November 28, 2011, 04:54:09 am
Well finally after a year of checking TMX out I have finally got one of the way, I now have the agonizing wait for it to arrive.  Looking forward to using it with my large brood of kids and expand our vegetarian diet.  can't wait to get lots of new ideas through this forum and picking all of your brains. 


See you on the boards.

Hi breezy, welcome to the forum.  Will follow your adventure with interest.  Anyone with 8 kids has to be organised but how do you find enough hours in the day to do everything ???

Yup LeeJ same Breezy!!  Thanks for your welcome.  I didn't think about getting two bowls, might check it out after I have used it for a bit and see if I need it.  The main thing that was the selling point was the ease in making my bread with out a bread maker, they are never big enough for my brood and the rice milk.  I worked it out that if I only do the bread and milk I will get my money's worth in a year, anything I else I do is a bonus.

Most people start out waiting to see if they need the second bowl Breezy and we all come to the same conclusion - I need one. Good luck with the cooking and I'm sure you'll make your money back in less than a year. I think mine was about 4 months.

I just got a second bowl in the special promo deal and the whole set, including blades, basket, butterfly etc was only $150.  I had a sale at my varoma demo so I got an extra $50 (so would have been $200).

The only interesting thing is that when it arrived the lid was broken so my consultant ordered another one, which I received just a bowl , base, seal and lid, but there wasn't a return package or address or even an invoice or letter for the broken lid and spare bowl.  And then a couple of days ago I got a package and it had just another bowl only , but no lid. So I have a cupboard full of spare tmx parts! 
(and yes i have let head office know, I just couldn't keep them I'm not that type of person).

Somehow I don't think that they are giving me 2 free bowls, a broken lid and a seal as a 'sorry for your inconvenience gift'!

Sorry went off subject there.  BTW I love having the second bowl set and I'm only a family of 5.

Welcome. What age are your children? Will they be able to help cook with the TMX?
Title: Re: Mum of eight awaiting new arrival....
Post by: Breezy on December 10, 2011, 10:56:35 pm
My kids are 1,3,5,7,9,10,11 and 19.  The 19 yo is special needs.  My 2 older girls 9 and 10 are keen to be using the TMX.

Well is has been over 2 weeks since my demo and when I placed my order and I am still waiting....it is so hard to be patient!!!!  What is the usual wait time??  I paid cash so no finance checks or anything needed.

Where do you live breezy and when did you place your order and by cash do you mean bank transfer or cash direct to the consultant ? If you did a transfer did your consultant give you a reference number to add to it?

When I read the title of this post I just had to pop in and find out a little bit more about this crazy person with 8 kids. Wow wow and double wow. That Is a triple full time job. Do you have time to sleep? I have 5 lids my self and I find there is never enough hours in a day.
I think if there is anyone who really needs the help of a TM then it's definitely you. You will find it will help you so much. I purchased a second bowl a few months ago and find it terrific. I would imagine that in a few months time you will be seriously considering getting a second bowl.
I hope your TM arrives very soon for you. I guess it's a pretty busy time of year for shipping so that may make your TMs arrival a bit delayed. You should give your consultant a call to get them to follow it up for you as Christmas is fast approaching us.

Welcome to the forum and enjoy your new arrival when it arrives.

Talked to my consultant today,   She has received despatch notice so hopefully any day now. 

My kids already have a list of things for me to make.

Had my bulk food order arrive today, so am all ready for it.

hello Breezy ...how are you going? and becareful cause when i got my hand on the thermo ... i was cooking until 2 am ...good luck with it all.

My Daughter is a vegetarian  and i use the  chinese-style stir fry all the time (on page 92 of the ED cook book ) and the thing that impressed me is the amount of vegies that i use seem to be 1/4 of what i would use to make a stir fry in the wok, but there is plenty for us.(i have 3 teenagers and they eat like they have never been fed)

Yippee Breezy!  I bet you are excited and VERY WELL DONE to your children.  You must be so proud.  I am a veggie as well and find the TM brilliant for veggie food but as DD and DH are not veggies, I certainly feel the need to buy a 2nd bowl but at £235 it will have to wait :-(  Keep us informed of your progress and we look forward to seeing some of your recipes on here. :)
