Saying Hi!! Just bought a thermomix!!
« on: May 16, 2010, 04:10:19 am »
Hi there

I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. My husband and I have 3 kids and I have been wanting a thermomix for such a long time!!! 

It has just taken me 4 months to accept the price tag and was ready to order one, but was on Ebay on friday night and was looking at a few different things and found a thermomix for $1000 so bought it lol!!!

I am really looking forward to changing our diet and being able to make things from scratch!!!

:)

Hi kye33. Welcome to the forum. Can't believe you found a thermomix on e-bay for that price. Good on you. Enjoy.

Well done on snapping up that bargain!  I saw that on ebay and was suprised at the low price given that they usually sell quite well.  Enjoy your new machine and the inspiration from the forum!

Welcome Kye33, you have certainly got a bargain, well done.

Good work snapping up such a bargain! Welcome to the forum, you'll find some great resources here.
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.

Are they sending you some books with the machine Kye33?  You get one free book when you buy which is called Everyday Cooking but they may have bought some of the others too.  Have you been to a demo or know others who have one who can give you some idea of how to use it?
