This past weekend was a bank holiday weekend.....basically an excuse to close most places down and have a family day out. Saturday night, our friend Lyndsy invited us out to her sister's HUGE empty house(she was house sitting/dog sitting while her sister and family were away).
We took a tour of the house(basement, 2 floors, about 5 bedrooms--2 of which are en-suite, and then several other rooms for office, living rooms, etc). and then we chilled out in their really expensive high tech hot tub. A great start to a really great night.
While we were there, it really put into perspective the type of country house Rob and I want when we can afford it. One of the main bits of the house that i LOVED was the arggie in the kitchen:
Very expensive to run, but if you spend most of your time in the kitchen where things are cooked on and off all day it's convient. It's a oven/stove that stays on ALL the time(24/7). Even though I know it'll cost alot, it's one of the main 'must haves' when ROb and I have a family because I know that it will be put to good use.
After chillin' out at the house, we(Lyndsy, GReg, Rob, myself, and another friend from Kings Head, Becky) went out for a couple drinks out in town.
On another note, today I decided to do a little weeding. The space next to our house is basically the abandoned bit that is really no one's property, but I'm tired of it looking like an infestation of weeds. So...I bought myself some gloves, gardening tools, and weed killer and took care of it.

My collected pile of weeds.
Just one section that I was nice enough to clean up.
I ended up filling 3 trash bags full of the weeds I took down.
Overall it was a productive day. Who said housewives ONLY had to do things like dishes, making the bed, doing the shopping?(which I also did today BTW). :) I'm a multitasker.
