How right you are Dede. I would never have got so much use out of my TMX if it wasn't for this forum. And it's a fun way to "meet" new people too.

I would like them to bring out a mini-TMX, something for the Parmesan, garlic, spices etc.
God I'd love a dishwasher. Should be saving $$ but bought 2 cookbooks & another bowl tonight.
I'd love live-in help. The ones that live here don't help much.

You may not want to give it back to Mum Lellyj 

It's true, JD, it will be hard . . . over the years quite a few things that Mum has bought for us to "share" end up "living" at my house (Mum lives 4 doors down the road) . . .such as a large electric frypan and an icecream maker, various cake tins.  They start out at her house, then I borrow them heaps, usually sending children back and forth down the street, and then eventually she says, "Look, you hang on to it and I know where it is if I want it!  I don't think she will be quite so generous with her thermie, though.

DH's response to this was an 18 year old blonde housekeeper

I agree, this would possibly be better than a second tmx . . . maybe a young and handsome someone to follow behind me and do the clean up would be best of all!!

Uhhhhhhh.  I have been considering a houseboy... ;D      The local college sends out email notices of students who are looking for part-time jobs.  They have a basic culinary school so it's a possibility............... :-))

A houseboy, yes please!!  :D  Mind you, I suppose some would say I already have 2 houseboys and a houseman, but somehow they don't really get it.

Same here  :)   I say to my little blokes that a good cook is a tidy cook every time they cook:  hopefully repetition will have some impact. They're actually quite tidy... in the kitchen anyway!
Tidying up is the worse part of cooking but in a way it stops us from cooking phenomenal quantities- better for the waistline  ;)

The forum.  I can't believe that I never wrote that either.  Live in help totally appeals to me.  Ed doesn't like the idea of someone coming into our house and cleaning it regularly.  I cannot think of any possible problem with it.  So long as they don't burn it down!

My DH was the same Lee. I would have loved a cleaner when I was working.

A live in hose keepe and 2 tms, fantastic life, bring it on....

I can just see the creations now, mess everywhere, confusion as usual, then house keeper comes home and cleans up our little well in my case extremely large chaotuc mess.

Dream on, i think  i would have stolen the passport so she couldnt leave.

I am working on the cleaner still.  But I might settle for one of those new Vorwerk robot vacuum cleaners when they come out to suck up all the jolly hair the dogs leave lying about all the time

When we lived in Hong Kong for a few years we had an amah that used to come in a couple of times a week.  At first I thought I would be uncomfortable with that, but it only took one visit before I got totally  used to it, and I never looked back!  Ever since then I have always had someone come in for at least a couple of hours a week to do a clean / tidy up.  I figure I work long and hard enough at work during the week and over the weekends that I can afford for someone to come in and do the work I hate.  It's not a luxury; in fact it is, for me, essential, as it allows me a couple of hours of leisure on a Sunday and I have no intention of working my whole life away.

Work on Ed, Lee, you do get used to the help very quickly and I'm pretty sure you won't regret it.
