My workshop is the old kitchen at the far end of the cottage (ideal plenty of work surfaces etc etc) I have just come downstairs after a lovely leisurely bath with my new wet/dry panasonic razer and thoughts of finishing for the weekend and sunday off!
My wife informs me she has decided (taken it upon herself) to do a mini spring clean of the workshop - WITH THE 2000 WATT miele!!! She has taken the dust covers off everything cleaned all the machinery with some dumb arse brush uncovered work in progress vacuumed that glass frames medals backing the frigging works!! to say im distraught is a mega understatement - i have never in my life seen so much dust in the air (vacuum cleaners have to be used with kid gloves they blow more than they suck) the place looks like fucking iceland! I'm probably going to have a heart attack or at least apoplexy - there is no point me me going back in till the dust has settled 2000watts is just too much blowing power!
i just like my dust on the ground not spread in the air like a figging volcano!
rant over wife still alive lock on door busy day monday!

A few beers can work wonders here. It will all be ok for you, I hope.
I know somebody need only move a pen out of place on my desk and it throws everything out of kilter.
They're strange creatures are ladies once they get into that cleaning mode. It's a strange phenomenon. I know it well.
Dusting and folding things up and putting them away, as they call it. They're like whirlwinds once they start flying about a house.

Calm down Mike, I'm sure she did it with the best of intentions and didn't intend to wind you up.
I know what you mean though, you can never find anything after one of these sessions either. A few beers sounds like a good idea, have one for me.

Re: can i have a rant rather than be a prime suspect
Oh the time I've spent looking for stuff not being able to work out where I've put it only to find that it's been tided up for me, usually in some random draw or cupboard, logic doesn't come into it. I'm sure the lady was only trying help, maybe you should do the same, do the washing or rearrange the kitchen so it's more efficient?
I prefer the calming properties of whisky.
