Hello from North Yorkshire-UK

[passionflower]

Hello there my name is Monica and I am a new Thermomix addict. I have not seen a demo yet but my best friend is a demo for the in  France so i am familiar with this baby's potential. I am at the stage where I would love to become a demonstrator myself anyone from the UK on here who would like to take me under their wing?
Look forward getting to know you all. Hugs Monica xxx

Hi Monica and welcome to the forum from another UK member.I live in the Bucks but our lovely Katya lives in Yorkshire so you will have someone who is relatively local to you.

Hi Monica and welcome to the Forum.   This is a great place to find out more about the wonderful Thermomix.

I live in Sheffield - whereabouts are you?   I've been thinking about becoming a home-based demonstrator (having people come to me rather than me going to them) but haven't yet taken the plunge.   If you are interested in coming and seeing me and my machine, please do let me know,  but it won't be a proper demo.   Or if you just want a chat, send me a message with your phone no. and I can give you a call.

I've had my TMX for just over 2 years and I can honestly say it's one of the best things I've ever bought.  Before I got it, I worried about how much use I would make of it but now I can't imagine being without it.

Hello lovely ladies and thank you for your quick and warm replies. Katya I have pm ed you with my number hope it reaches you ok. I live near Selby so only about 35 minutes to Sheffiled which is great. I know how the system works in France but not familiar with how it works in the Uk so a lot of guidance will be needed  .

Im in Sheffield too,and have had my machine about 2 months.............I use my machine at least once a day, and am wasting so little food now .  Id like to say that Im saving money, but sadly so far Im buying so many things to try out!  The curries are to die for,and the sauces are brilliant! Ive not made a lot of soups (what I bought the machine for!), but it is the wrong time of year..........I make a jar or 2 of jam every couple of days at the moment, as our soft fruit ripens, and its no faff at all.........really quick, no huge jam pan to scrub!
My one 'gripe' I suppose that in the uk, there are no classes, extra demos that there seem to be in Australia, and that they dont update their newsletter very often!
Oh......and you wont believe how light the bread is.................

Hi Joolsmicre and passionflower,  welcome to the Forum.  I also love making Jam in the TMX.  Just 4 jars at a time and hardly any mess.   I have been making Lemon and Carrot Marmalade,  but then I am at the other end of the world and it is Winter.  I have been to York and loved it.
