I don't think I could bear it and as I only live a few minutes away from HO I would be camping on their door step to get it back quickly. Sorry about your sick thermies girls and hope you get them back soon.

Yay!  Just had a phone call from Thermomix UK, and my machine will be back home where it belongs tomorrow!  So I'll have it back in time for the weekend.  Three cheers!

That was quick Siren, they didn't mess around.

That is the beauty of the Thermomix service.

Next-day delivery service in each direction, and (so they tell me) a very quick problem to fix!  My machine is out of warranty by two months (typical!), so even though Thermomix UK were very generous in waiving huge chunks of the servicing fee, the delivery charges and the cost of the replacement part mean that getting the front plate replaced hasn't been a cheap exercise.  But I'm definitely looking forward to getting it back again.

Good news Siren, bad news ES!

I haven't heard anything from HO yet, but they did suspect mother board issues, so about $99 for that and $33 for looking at it. I don't care how much it costs, I want it back! I had to borrow my DD's as I just couldn't cope without it. We were starting to eat very Basic food as I just couldn't be bothered doing anything the hard way! :D
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

That seems very reasonable MJ?

My Thermomix is back.  When it left, the stress-fractured face plate had "Vorwerk" at the top, and "Thermomix" in the bottom left-hand area, underneath the hotter end of the temperature settings.  Now it has a different "Thermomix" logo at the top, and the Vorwerk logo is at the bottom.  Curious.
