To not go on night out again?!

[StrictlySnow]

School mums night out tonight missed the last two as both times Dh was working and had no other sitter.
This week both kids have been unwell and now given their cold to me feel crappy, party to get ready for Sunday so lots to do tomo need to feel ok.
Would genuinely like to go out with them and think if I don’t go again it will look like a snub which it is not - should I suck it up and go?

Can you maybe go for an hour or two? Even if you don't drink and take the car: just turning up would indicate that you do want to be invited along. DH and I were going to a black tie do a while ago and I had had a bug in the run up to it: I still felt poorly but we wanted to show our faces so I drove and we left early. I wasn't much fun but I felt better at turning up for a little while rather than cancelling.

A night off from being a dm sounds like it's just the tonic you need!!
Take a couple of paracetamol before you go!!

I think you should show your face. If I invited someone somewhere three times and they didn't show up, I probably wouldn't bother with a fourth time.

If you want to go, then go
If you don't want to go, then don't
Stop looking for exuses

I also think it will look like a snub if you do it 3 times in a row.

I'd go else the invites will dry up. Day nurse and get yourself out there

Thanks all that’s what I was concerned about better get myself dosed up later and just stay for a couple thanks I do want to go just wish I wasn’t a snotty mess

I'd go for an hour or two - enjoy the company, have a laugh, have a soft drink and get home to bed and feel good tomorrow.

Sod all the soft drink advice have an alcoholic drink, you'll feel much better after a couple (can't promise the next day will be fun though)

Antihistamines to dry up the snotty nose

Often, if you make the effort to go somewhere when you're reluctant, for whatever reason, they turn out to be great nights out that you enjoy.

Hope you have a great night.

Thank you I wouldn’t be able to stick to soft drinks after the week I’ve had but need to have a clear head as shedloads to do tomo for dd’s Party on Sunday and guessing both kids will be up lots tonight too
