KitchenAid or Thermomix???

Sorry in advance for talking about kitchen appliances but I need some serious help here guys.

I have wanted a KitchenAid Stand Mixer for so so long, and B has finally come to the party, but we are also investigating a Thermomix and I really don't think he we ever let me own both...

OR

Now, for the finer details. I already own a Breville Ikon Breadmaker that I use to make bread, all our doughs and jam. My oven works fine and I do have a microwave steamer and a semi-decent food processor.
So given these circumstances what would you do. Would you purchase a KitchenAid and a selection of attachments or a Thermomix???

housework... does it ever end????

It feels like I only just finishing cleaning the house when I have to start all over again! Is it just me or do you feel like that too?

Between the kids rooms, the living areas and the never ending washing I feel like I am drowning in domestic chores!

I feel bad for the kids because they would love to do more fun activities but I am to busy cleaning most days to participate. How do you find a balance??? Do you even have a balance or are you stuck in cleaning limbo like me?

If only I was more like Martha...
