To cancel dinner tomorrow night

DD has given me her cold. I was feeling a bit crappy Monday and Tuesday but now feel bloody awful. Dizzy, joints feel 'odd', eyes hurt, sneezing all over the place, knackered, bad-tempered, can't think straight, not sleeping well. Just horrible. Everything feels like too much effort (apart from being on MN, of course).

We have invited friends round for dinner tomorrow night. There will be 8 of us. I will have to do all the cooking, although we will buy in dessert. I am also likely to have to do the lion's share of childcare tomorrow as well. I just can't face it. Not the preparation, not the entertaining and being a host, not the late night, not the clearing up. I'm sure our guests wouldn't thank me for infecting them. I just want to cancel and stay in PJs all day.

I feel bad about this, and I think DH would vastly prefer it if I could get myself together and get on with it. As background, we moved into our house abut a year ago from living in a tiny, tiny, tiny flat. We are trying to entertain as much as possible to repay hospitality to friends that we just haven't properly been able in the way that we now can. DH is going to feel particularly bad about cancelling a couple of these friends.

WIBU to cancel? Would DH BU if he tells me AIBU?

Oh dear lord no!!!! I can't cope with a complaining, snoring and coughing DH!!!!

Appreciate the thought though Wink.

He's taken DD to the theatre (instead of me taking her).

Mala - I did that thread a while ago after a particularly horrid row. Many felt I should LTB. Am not necessarily in disagreement. Just not strong enough to contemplate it right now. (Have had a hell of a lot of serious ill health and shit to deal with over last few years and am still reeling somewhat.) I know you are all here when I need you Smile.

Your husband should do everything, or agree to cancel Smile

We've cancelled. I've just had a shower and am back in PJs. I intend to say in them all day Smile.
