and try not to get swarf in the washing machine

Forget the washing machine, getting it into the bed is the worst.

When she wakes up in the middle of the night with swarf sticking in her a**e, you are in deep shi trouble.

So just a note of warning, while she is away, not taking your overalls and boots off before climbing into bed can have severe consequences.

just managed a couple of days away

just fancied being Jim again, i think its an age thing

believe it or not, just bought a couple of bottles back

i've got the whole week off work, but got some of me regular work to squeeze in (pays for the tools )

Mrs Jim don't seem to worry too much about the odd bit swarf in the washer

Swarf is a great test of marital fortitude! 

When the loved one is away it is probably best to rig a cot in the shop, that is safest and what you really wanted to do anyway!

I was lucky; my (late) Chris was an engineer's daughter, who learned to read from engineering textbooks so she knew that swarf was a fact of life, and wasn't bothered when I used my first (baby) lathe on the kitchen table.

Liz (the cleaner) isn't as indulgent, and wasn't too impressed  by my suggestion of a magnet on a stick. So I secretly stuck a few neobbdy neobdymum rare earth magnets on the underside of the vacuum cleaner. That seems to have shut her up, tho' I have to be very careful about non-ferrous stuff.
