Well after deliberating for 12 months or more i finally got my thermomix about 6 weeks ago, and initially I was totally gutted when a friend asked me if I'd seen the target catalogue. But after reading every post on here, I feel that my thermomix will still sit proudly on my benchtop and will hopefully still be there when the Bellini's are long gone! I hope everyone that does buy the Bellini gets as much out of it as i've been getting from my thermomix. And as posted on here by LeeJ: I'd still take my Porsche over the Hyundai any day!! Thanks for all the posts, it was my first real visit to the forum, and really worth it. I feel like it's one big happy family!!
