Poor Brazen!!!!  Feel for you in your loss ...  ;)  Seriously, though - hope it's back VERY soon.  I can't imagine being without my thermie now.
As my picture shows, I've suddenly become younger :-)  DD was of the opinion that her picture should be here, not mine!

OMG!!  My worst nightmare!!  :o

Oh, I had to get some new blades a month or so ago and that took 2 days express... but at least Tim was still here...

Sending patience vibes to your house Karen... and super speedy vibes to TMX headquarters!  :-*

LOL chelsea!
i made a vegie stir fry with noodles and tofu (would have been so much better in the tmx) and chicken wings in an asian sauce which could also have been done in the thermomix (though i do think they are a bit better done in a pan tbh)

dinner's not such an issue but i'm wondering what on earth i'm going to have for breakie, i'm so used to my smoothies!

Sympathies to you  :-* :-* :-* I would be well on my way to a breakdown by now! The one time it is a bonus to live in WA - you are only without your machine for 24 hours  ;D

Karen, you poor thing. I would be having severe withdrawal sypmtoms. I hope he copes with the big trip. How long will he be in hospital? We West Aussies should go and visit him- I'm sure head office would be really thrilled about that.

Good grief Karen, that is indeed a tragedy.  What was wrong???  I sometimes think Thelma is tired & not working well (I know the feeling!!) but I never know how to check.  There is a test they do related to how long it takes to boil a litre of water - can't remember what it is......

Anyway, swift & safe passage little friend.  Hope you are home soon.

Here I go away from the forum for a few days & disaster strikes!!!

Im going to have to leave mine behind for 4 weeks while I go to England!! and I will have to use my mothers very unequipped kitchen !  I was half tempted to take TM with me, but lugging it around as hand luggage with 2 kids would be too hard!!

mine had been making weird sounds for a while, i kept meaning to ask on here if it was normal but forgetting,b ut it was such an odd sound it was hard to describe (it sounded like the blades were hitting the sides of the bowl. a kind of grinding sound). then when tenina used it in the cooking demo she made like a double or triple batch of sorbet which apparently they should cope with just fine but mine couldn't and the sorbet came out with huge chunks of uncrushed ice in it :(

at least it's still under warranty, but i guess mine does get used more than average.

Hope that Steve has it safely back to you soon.  I miss Bimby when I go away for a couple of days - just wish she weren't so heavy - goes over the carry-on limit.  :(

Oh you poor, poor thing!! I hope he's back soon...
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.
