Have you got any Imodium?

Make sure they have their own hand towel in the bathroom. Banish them to their bedroom. Bleach frequently touched surfaces. And, most importantly, great hand washing by everyone in the house (not alcohol gel)

I feel for your guest, that’s a bit miserable timing. Hope it is short lived

Are we in the middle of a cholera epidemic or something? The amount of people turning up at homes with the shits this Christmas is astonishing.

Sosounhappy · 24/12/2018 17:20

Had them at home and decided to come anyway !!!

Have they told you this?

What as sort of person turns up to stay with someone else and announces the state of their bowels?

If they think they're well enough to avoid infecting others they're well enough to ensure nobody else knows they have diarrhea surely? HmmConfusedXmas Confused

People are strange...

She is very selfish and expects special food tonight and flat lemonade

HermioneWeasley · 24/12/2018 17:29

Who the fuck is she? Why wouldn’t she more comfortable at her own home?

Sosounhappy · 24/12/2018 17:30

I would have stayed at home and come on boxing day

Is she a very elderly maiden aunt?

Sosounhappy · 24/12/2018 17:32

No 40 year old single cousin

Selfish. I had a nasty but brief bout of diarrhoea in the early hours of Sunday. I thought I was dying - never sweated and shivered so much in my life. Consequently, I stayed off work today and am in self-imposed quarantine for the next nine hours or so, ie until 48 hours has passed. I can't even go out to the pub tonight because I might still be infectious. I may not be but I can't take the chance of ruining lots of Christmases. Tough and unfair but right and proper, IMO.

Sosounhappy · 24/12/2018 17:33

Well done indigo

Fuck that! I’d rather an argument than the rest of the family catching it!

HollowTalk · 24/12/2018 17:34

A cousin? I'd send her home again.

Windgate · 24/12/2018 17:39

Just send her home. Chances are you are all going down with now

goforkyourself · 24/12/2018 17:42

Lol Poodle Definitely a 'cholera' outbreak of some kind? 😳

3out · 24/12/2018 17:42

I’d make her a ‘goody’ bag and ask her to go home because you don’t want your family to get the bug.

IndigoSpritz · 24/12/2018 17:55

Thank you OP. Now send her packing !

Sosounhappy · 24/12/2018 18:00

Dh says she can stay his cousin ffs

Sosounhappy · 24/12/2018 18:22
