Looks like we both have the same 3 branches, but I was wrong in thinking the house of commons and lords were 2 of those branches.
In a perhaps slightly simplistic overview:
Legislative - debates and decides the laws.
Executive - executes or implements these laws in policy decisions (assigning funds to public bodies etc, setting mission statements)
Judicial - interprets the implementation of laws when needed (e.g. edge cases)
Executive, Legislature and Judiciary. In the UK, the executive comprises the Crown and the Government, including the Prime Minister and Cabinet ministers. The legislature; Parliament, comprises the Crown, the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
3 branches are executive, legislative and judicial. The president is the head of the executive branch, congress legislative.
Thanks for the explanation.
Well gosh, I’ve had to go and read up on it too 😀

Also seems like the UK independence of legislature and executive branch is up to debate -https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_powers_in_the_United_Kingdom
