I've decided to get one, I was thinking of waiting until after the wedding and buying it with wedding gift money, but now I'm thinking I can't wait lol
I'm waking for the next half price bowl special. Does anyone know when the last one was?
Everyone I think. Existing customers could purchase for $195 if they had a demo, or $125 if someone bought a TMX at their demo. Not sure what the incentive was for new customers.
Hmm.. maybe there's no point in waiting. This month's special is a cookbook stand, doesn't excite me lol.
ETA: I searched through the monthly specials by typing each month then "thermomix promotion" and there are some good ones. This month's is a cookbook stand, which is the worst promotion (imo) I've seen. I'll keep an eye out for something better and buy

I have to agree about cookbook stand being worst promotion ever. For a machine that is meant to help you get rid of stuff on your bench tops and small kitchens it seems like a strange choice. I was thinking of having a demo but will wait till next month anything is better than cookbook stand. (Most recipes I read off tablet anyway)
My bonus was two thermoservers when I bought mine. I thought it was a good one. I haven't used them as much as I thought I would though.
I have just made swiss meringue buttercream in the TM. It was super easy and it so much easier to ice with than buttercream. You can get a smooth, shiny surface really well. And I a total klutz when it comes to icing cakes! Definitely try it for your next birthday cake. But use unsalted butter, not salted. Mines too salty.
I agree about waiting for a better promo month if you can. I had no idea when I got mine and I got a Full Steam ahead cookbook. It has very little in it that interests me at all.
I cooked pasta last night for the first time in my thermie. Came out better (read far more intact) than I thought it would, but I don't think I'll bother again. It's too glutinous with such little space and water volume for the pasta purist in me.
Sorry Hetty I mean I don't want to organize a demo, invite people, clean house, with the intention of getting something cheaply, only for that something to be a useless cook book stand.
And no, you can't get a Thermomix for selling them at demos. You need to sign up as a consultant, then you get your machine and you have to sell maybe six TMXs in three months (?) to earn your own for free. If you don't sell enough in that period, you pay out whatever remains.
Don't quote me on how many you need to sell or how long you get - I am not a consultant!
I am looking forward to not working tomorrow to give me time with my TMX :-). DD keeps dreaming up new things she wants to make in mummy's machine. If it rains we will have to make more playdough I am sure - the colors mix together really well which is cool as DD likes getting two and mixing together to see what makes blue and yellow etc. etc. but it also means that we end up with bucket loads of a pinkish brown as DS especially mixes it altogether - then DD wants more colors for her creations.
I am half hoping that I don't get called in for work three days next week so I can have a whole day at home with it. Has anyone ground up stuff to use in future in recipes - I hate having to do stuff then take out of bowl so was thinking I could do the grind stuff in advance and store for later recipes - but need to think it through as to what I need and what will be useful.
I've been doing a bit more reading, and people say you need the stock concentrates for the food to have flavour? Is this the case? I'm not keen on upping my salt intake!
I just made the gnocchi and arrabiata sauce. It was delish! A word of advice though with the gnocvhi, try to make them even sized and have a shaker of spare flour to stop it sticking to everything!
