As it says on the tin, I was sick this morning (around 3am) but am feeling a lot better now and have eaten.

My gran has been sick several times this morning but not since 11am.

Dd 2 on Saturday, was sick at 1:00 and is now sleeping.

We have 13 guests (1 child others adults) coming to out house Saturday pm for a party where I planned to make a cake and food.

Would you go ahead?
Cancel altogether?
Make alternative food arrangements?
Move location (although not sure where without putting family out)

Haven't had chance to talk to oh yet although he is fine and at work so hopefully it's limited to us.

Come on wisdom of mumsnet :) wwyd?

Most sickness bugs last 24-48hrs tops so I wouldn't cancel. Get the dettol out though and wipe down door handles etc.

Oh and leave food prep til 48hrs since last vomiting/diarrhea.

As long as you are all clear of vomiting for 48 hours before the party and give things a good clean, I wouldn't cancel.

We had a vomiting bug a few weeks ago. Really wiped us all out afterwards though, so do makes sure you have the energy for the party too.

Thank you :) I've already disinfected the whole kitchen floor, surfaces and doors, am hoping Dd is the last one and that dp doesn't get it.

Am holding off telling mil as she will not only want a blow by blow account but will also ask for a description bleurgh

Oh and she will panic lol

Best leave gran out of the catering for Saturday, eh?

Alas, after a full recovery today by the 3 of us, dp has spent all night being ill - looking like party but no food at the minute.

Will start the phone calls in the morning and then decide for definitely on Saturday.

At least dd is too young to understand!
