If you can't find them locally, Gert - try here..  . I had to get them online, too

Otherwise, you'll have to be cooking, making coffee, etc etc in a hermetically sealed tent!!

I lived in New York for a number of years and every three months or so the exterminator would come into the apt . . only problem was the little (%^&%^$'s knew when he was coming, packed their bags and moved next door until it was safe to move back.  The exterminator often reassured me that our problem was tiny compared to some he had seen - one being where he literally was forced to use an umbrella.  Apparently, when the spraying starts the roaches head for the ceiling, become weak, die and fall to the floor.  Inevitably, they were the little German roaches that multiplied by the bazillion and were into everything . . . .

Thanks or that . I will be investigating. Seem cheap . First I will check with our pest controller.

You are not going to believe this but my DD's Thermothingy has to go to hospital too. Probably for the same reason. Hers  is a lot newer than mine and she lives in a brand new apartment  building on the third floor.

She is not a happy camper. As she suffers from Crohn's disease she really relies on her machine. Looks like I may have to lend her mine!

Oh no Gert what a shame. 
Will be very kind if you lend yours to DD especially as she has special dietary problems 

[mcmich]

Hopefully they will give her a good quote and discount as they did you Gert. Luckily she has a mum with a TMX as she obviously does need one.

Good on you Gretchen, it sounds as if she needs hers more than you.  Perhaps she can bring it over during the day for you to use then pick it up after work again.  Wonder if the cockroaches catch the lift up to the 3rd floor or climb the stairs

[gertbysea]

I hope they give her a quote first Judy. I think the cockies use the lift.

Is DD's Thermomix still under warranty Gretchen?

[gertbysea]

Not sure as she cannot find her papers.

Gert

[judydawn]

She didn't staple it inside the manual by any chance did she?  That's where I keep mine.

[gertbysea]

I always do,the same . But not her. First thing I asked. Anyway our consultant should know

Gert.

[Yvette]

HO should also know when she purchased Gert, hope it is still under warranty and gets fixed soon

[Emme]

Hope it can be fixed soon Gert, and that there is not too much wrong with it.  Those cockroaches sure cause some problems.
Marie

[gertbysea]

Yes they do . I have put dots of cockroach bait everywhere now.  Ants are a problem as well but they seem to disappear if you use the proper stuff. Not so those cockies.
