If you have a cold/sore throat, at what point do you stop?

[sunnydayinmay]

If you have a virus, with a slight temperature, sore throat and feel tired and a bit washed out, what would be too much for you? (I get lots of these, as am mildly asthmatic, and pick up every cold bug going. Occasionally, they stick and I end up on antibiotics, but usually shift within a few days. I am rubbish at judging when I am overdoing it).

Would you:

1. Go to work (office based, stressful job, hard to rearrange diary at short notice);

1. Go to a party?

1. Take a child to an all day sport event, where you are sitting and watching;

1. Entertain lunch guests;

1. Go out to pre arranged lunch with friends/family;

1. Get up at 6.30am to do 2 hours ironing;

1. Play tennis.

All of these were in my diary. Some I cancelled (well, one...), but wondered what others would do?

I'd do 1 and 3, drop 2, 4, 6 and 7, and judge 5 based on how bad I felt. (I wouldn't feel obliged to do 5, though).
