Yes, cherish them if you still have them.  My Mum turns 89 this year so I am very lucky.

That's wonderful Judy. One of my very best friends is 89. She was my neighbour before we shifted. I love her dearly.

Your lucky mum Chelsea! I don't think my mum would have bought one except that she lived with me for a few months and realised that life is so much easier with it... Even if you are only cooking for 1 or 2 - you still have to eat every day...

We are blessed by our mums aren't we? Whether they are here or not - such a big influence on our lives... Mine sometimes drives me spare (esp. when we lived together!) but she is like my best friend... my heart goes out to my friends who have lost theirs – I have 2 who both lost their mum’s to cancer when they were only in their 40’s (the mums)– so they have had to do all of it – kids etc without that beautiful influence over their shoulders... I know they look wistfully at my mother and me sometimes, I wish I could share her! All I can do is be a loving and appreciative daughter... I try! I am giving her a massage tomorrow and taking her to see Harry Potter gold class next week (she is a big time HP fan!)...

Blessings to all your mums – especially those that are not here xxx

Kyliejade how kind and thoughtful of you. I'm sure it's obvious I miss my Mum a lot but she could also drive me crazy at times as I probably did her. Fortunately DD and I have a great relationship.

My mother is 85 and has a TM here in South Africa and another in her home in England. I am lucky enough to have earned another one so I am "lending" one machine to my two daughters who share a flat in Cape Town - they are very excited. My husband hates cooking but when I am in Cape Town during the week he has to cook for himself and prefers to use the TM rather than the stove. Weekends in the country are a great stress reliever for me. I hope our sales grow faster than they did in Australia.
