I'm busting, not only to hear of your Mum's reaction Chelsea but how you managed to get the TMX into the car unnoticed. I can just picture MIL coming across you with a big Vorwerk box in your hands and you being sprung

Oh no!  Don't even think that, Judy; Chelsea has been anticipating this for so long NOTHING IS ALLOWED TO GO WRONG NOW - weall know how to be a little bit stealthy and sneaky at times andshe'll be fine - there's only 30 minutes left until the surprise!  If I had a little nail biting icon I would put it in here!

We are all waiting to hear Chelsea, so here we go Marina

Waiting............who cried the most?

JD - I am back in the 'hamptons, as of this morning - there is no way I could have fluffed about this much on DD's laptop

That time went quickly Robyn - not for you though I hope.  Welcome back home and to the forum

Just had a message from Chelsea - it seems she is locked out of this thread again 


Let them know that my Mum is thrilled with her TM (has used it 3 times already) and that I will post the details ASAP.

So glad you finally got to deliver it and I bet your comment is quite an understatement!! You certainly are stronger then I - I would not have been able to contain myself all this time

Hi Guys,

I am having huge dramas with the forum.  This message will be the test I guess as I am sending it from work (having a quick break from marking). MM has been wonderful and offered me assistance, but I suspect that it is my home computer and that I will be in a read-only state until I can get it looked at next week.  How frustrating but at least I will still be able to read your posts.

Yesterday was just wonderful.  I am still buzzing. Mum was puzzled when she opened her gift wrapped EDC (the TM was hiding in the car).  I explained that I had bought her a TM so we could thermomix together.  She couldn't believe it and kept saying "oh you are so naughty - it's too much".  When she recovered from the shock (and we dried our tears) Mum really was thrilled and we quickly got the boxes in and unpacked them.  We didn't have long together as my Uncle was visiting when I got there and I had to wait for him to go. I ran through some basics though and Mum started a soup while I was there.  She is going really well with it and has jumped right in.  Yesterday she made the curried pumpkin and lentil soup, Bron's lemon sponge and steamed some vegies and potatoes in the varoma.  I was impressed that she used the varoma on her first day. She is already talking about converting her favourite biscuit recipes and has asked for a copy of my ingredient conversion chart (cups to grams). She sounds so excited on the phone and I can't wait for next week when we can sit down and have a good chat (and cook).  As for poor old MIL I am still feeling bad about fibbing to her so we are taking her out for dinner tonight. Two more days!!!

Am looking forward to getting online properly.  If anyone has any suggestions for fixing the problem please let me know.  The forum looks perfectly normal but when I try to post or send PM's they take such a long time that they seem to time-out and the forum screen is replaced by a windows error message.  I wonder if I have a virus?
