To think that the answer to the question

[Ownerofalittlechimp]

"So how long is your mum staying" shouldn't be "I don't know"!

I need to know how much wine to stockpile fgs!

For clarity we are talking weeks

The question should have been 'how long is your mum staying..in the hotel in town?'

How long are you looking after your mother?

I'd place an order in with Tesco now. They can deliver up to 24 bottles in one delivery!

Unfortunately for a number of reasons a hotel is out. I don't mind per se but feel i should at least know how long I need to endure

I would stockpile enough wine, ice cream, chocolates, ear plugs, spirits and box sets to see you through a nuclear winter.
No sense in being unprepared!
