Barrybran III - New job, new life?

[Barrybran]

You did read that my wife is impulsive right? :p I get your point and I'll try it out though.

Speaking of impulsive, we all had a laugh last night because the topic of my brother's wedding came up last night. Recently I discovered that it will cost $4000 just to fly my family there and back. I could cheapen it up but it's still expensive and we still need to pay for accommodation, a rental car, food and entertainment for while we're there. It's going to be an expensive trip. My wife made a comment last night that we should book the flights. I made a joke that she doesn't even know what she wants for dinner when I ask at 4:30pm. My parents saw the funny side of this but my wife was serious. Looks like I'll be looking at flights over the next few weeks.

I found out last night that I have the house to myself next week. I'm not sure to what extent this is true as my wife has a ball to go to on one of the evenings but as far as I'm aware she hasn't made any other plans so I assume she'd be home for much of the weekend, particularly overnight. My kids will be staying with family friends and my parents will be departing sometime next week.

Either way, I'm thinking of taking off to the next major town by myself. I want look for some second hand chairs and rose bushes for the garden so I can get into both projects.
