I'm new so "G'day"
« on: August 30, 2009, 06:07:06 am »
G'day All,
We only got our TM on friday night and it's now Sunday morning and I recon I've used it ten times already.
My name is Shannon, I'm a married and father with 5 boys, 5, 4, 2 , 1 and 4 months. Yes we have a TV.
When my wife came home a couple of months ago and said we gotta get one of these it does this and that and everything else and by the way it ONLY cost $1900. "Bulls**t" was my answer. Being a totally whipped father who cooks all our meals I caved in. Thank God I did this machine rocks.
Looking forward to find heaps of new recipies.
Beechy

Hi Shannon, welcome to the forum.  5 boys!!! Are they a handful or after 3 it doesn't make any difference! Glad to see you are the main cook in the home - should be more of them ;) ;) ;)  Sounds like you already know this was the best purchase you have ever been talked into buying - enjoy.

So glad you are in love with it as it was a rather eventful start to your TMX life lol

You won't cringe any longer when the boys tell you they are hungry now! - they will come running as soon as they hear the lid lifted off the bowl  :P

They are the cutest little boys too Cookie....but then again I could be biased as I am used to a lot of boys!! Shannon's eldest is very good at making bread rolls  :P ;) ;) He was one of my helpers

Hi Shannon, Pleased to meet you.

I too am the only cook for my family (although we number only 4) & as a result, the TMX price wasn't a big turn off.  (You mean I can put dinner on & walk away ??? )

I haven't been sorry I bought it & presently I haven't even begun to put it through it's paces like some of the others around here.
