I'm not that good on a computer, but when the old pc died, dh wanted an apple. We got one, and I love it. the ipad came later. If I had to choose between my husband and my Ipad, I'd hesitate, I honestly would. I find it fab for cooking, as we have a small ( but perfectly formed ) kitchen, so I have to organise the worktops. Also, I can now access the best BBC television programmes on the ipad for a minimal fee, which is wonderful for an expat who hasn't got a television.
I think that Thermomix is just starting to sell well here in Fance; probably due to the fact that it has been seen on the French version of "come dine with me " ( not that I've ever seen the programme).
I know of at least two people who've bought one, but don't use it, because they think it's too loud and "gives them a headache". Blinking heck. They should live in my house for a day with two boys under seven, an elder sister who joins in with them, a cat, two dogs, a hubby with an electric guitar, a very chirpy budgie and 13 chickens , then they'll know what noise is .
