I'm a bit scared.

Oh dear Roxy, what a way to spend a Saturday night.  Keep at it, you will get there.  I've done that trick with the scales not being reset and it makes you want to scream.  Usually though, you make these mistakes only once and learn from them immediately.  Never give up, you will be a great cook sooner than you think.

Poor you - what a rotten start to your life with Thermomix... the good thing about it is that it can only get better from here on in 

I still prefer to use my other scales rather than rely on the TMX ones - if all the ingredients get thrown in at the beginning (eg for bread) I put the TMX bowl onto the scales and bung everything into it.   Otherwise I weigh things out as needed - I can do this while the TMX is doing its thing so it doesn't add to the time taken.

I have learned (like you the hard way!) that when I am adding liquid, I weigh it separately and then add it in to the TMX bowl.

I think we are all a bit scared by such a different process of cooking.      I have had mine for about 2 months.    For the first 2 days the worm farm was very well fed !     After that things started to settle.   Stick to the "everyday' book to start with.    I found the dips and soups good to help understand the process.   Then I discovered the sauces and custards.   I attended a cooking lesson and took notice of what the other TM users thought were good recipes,   and off course our beautiful consultant Anita is just soooo helpful.

Dont be put off by things not turning out quite right,  learn to trust your own judgement.

Poor Roxy. I learned a long time ago, pre Thermomix not to trust spring form tins. I have cleaned up a lot of gooey messes.

Keep going - one trick is to weight things into a cup/bowl before adding to the TM bowl.
