To go to a NYE get together with a cold

I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place I think. I am trying not to upset my close friend who is hosting NYE after having a hard time lately. Today I have come down with a full cold so I dont want to spread the germs about - she is also about to go on hols in a week.
Others have already pulled out for various reasons which has already disappointed her.
I am hoping I miraculously feel better tomorrow but I am doubtful.
What do I do??

Can't you go for a short while? Is the reason because you feel too poorly to go? People still go to school/ work/ events with a cold. It's not like D and V!

Just ask her what she would prefer? Then it is her choice whether she takes the risk.

i would never even consider not going because of a cold. If we all stayed in every time we had a cold in winter nothing would ever get done! If you feel you want to you can tell her and let her decide but I would just go.

Sleep on it. Take a Lemsip an early night and see how you feel tomorrow.

Tell her you have a cold and ask if she still wants you to go. We have been ill over Xmas so I've let people know so they can avoid us if they prefer.

Gosh my Ds and I have had a cold all Christmas . Would of not left the house for a week if we didn’t go out with a cold

Jellybabie3 · 30/12/2018 20:50

Well I am happy to go I was just trying to be considerate. I guess I am overthinking it.

Good for me Smile I didnt want to miss it

we've all had colds for weeks, but still worked/school/out as usual, sure you'll be fine to go, after a hot bath/early night/lemsip
