hi simph. welcome to the forum and to the world of tm.
my four year old also turns off the tm when it is beeping and gets quite cross if i do it before he can get there! i am looking forward to wen my kids are a few more years older and then they can start cooking in it as well!

Happily we can gush and rave about how wonderful the Thermomix is to each other without feeling like we are scaring our uninitiated friends.

hehe this made me giggle, its great to have someone just as nuts about the tm to talk to about it!
happy cooking
