Hi Mum23, first read about the thermie in Cyndi O'Mearas books Changing Habits, Changing Lives, and wanted one. I booked the demo, then cancelled because of the cost. 18 months along, I went to here Cyndi speak last Monday night, and the thermie was there. I came home and rang the next morning to book my demo. I have actually ordered it. so it will be here 2 weeks before my demo. There is a cooking class on here (on the coast) today, but I am in bed sick, so can't make it.
