Much like the 'which came first' scenarios (the chicken and the egg), there are the 'which would be worse' situations - this used to apply to the 'having a cigarette but no lighter, or having a lighter but no cigarette' conundrum.
This week it applies to Christmas. My mother is supposed to be travelling up from Devon. She is an extremely particular person, and as such, I have had to order lots and lots of extravagant food and drink, at least by my standards - acting more as a buffer, than to fulfil any nutritional requirements - 'have another drink!' 'have another snack!'
Now I can't decide which would be worse... If my mother doesn't make it, and I'm landed with an excessive bill for food and drink that I don't want... or if my mother does make it, and then the food can't be delivered.

I continue to make no progress in my studies.
