Would you meet close friends indoors for food?

[shesellsseashells99]

Just that question really.

Would you meet up with friends indoors at someone's house to share food and drinks? How many would you deem to be an acceptable amount of people...?

Nope, garden only.

Yup we've had visitors. Only one household at a time though.

Yes guidelines which the government want us to follow

Only with one other household indoors, as per guidelines. Not because I'm worried about getting the virus, but because I'm generally a rule follower.

Yes. I have. With close family. For various reasons the family circumstances mean that I will continue to do so.

No. I will not do anything that goes against the Govt guidelines as I need to protect someone my household is in a bubble with.

Not eaten inside but had one other family over. We eat outside but the other family do come in to use the loo, bring in dishes, get a drink etc.

Wouldn't do more than one family and whilst we can sit outside why not (garden dependent obviously)

Actually, I skipped a social last weekend with 2 other families so 3 altogether. Planned outside but due to rain the host said happy to be inside. I wasn't - 8 people squished round a table for 6 v a picnic in their field. Didn't feel happy with that

Yes, me and my family (4 of us) have been for food at a friends house, also 4 of them.

I dont feel happy with it but I wanted to gauge peoples views as I seem to he the only one hesitant. The forecast is looking too bad to do it outside.

Only friends with toddlers for playdates with playdate snacks. Social distancing is clearly not 100% as toddlers don't always co operate - and we tend to prioritise injury prevention...

Done it at friends

Couple hosting
next door neighbours
brother of one of hosts
me

All vulnerable by age but nothing else.

No, but I've just had covid

No as DH is v high risk.

I’m due to go a friends do on Saturday and there will 12 of us (including 4 small children) from 4 households but we will be outside

I know, it’s breaking the rules. Our host is fine with it, my husband is a bit tetchy about it. I’m very undecided

Yes, plus I’m in Manchester

Yes, but almost all my friends are more cautious than me and won’t do so.

Been for a pub lunch with one other household and that’s it.

Only one other household at a time inside for us. If I didn’t follow the guidance then dh died of Covid I couldn’t live with the guilt.

No way. I’m sticking to the guidelines and in a hotspot.

I would happily do this bit under local lockdown guidelines we arent allowed. I cant go and sit in my Mums garden either, but I can meet 5 friends in a pub garden

I think my problem with it is that if everyone thinks like that, there will be a lot more cases.

Everyone makes their own decisions, I'm not judging because I've also met people but I'm aware that every time I do so, there is more risk of it spreading and this carrying on for longer and longer.

Yes, plus I’m in Manchester

You rebel 😏

Yes, we've had some quite big groups round for dinner and drinks. I don't know anyone who is bothered by the guidelines.

Yes, but I stick to the guidelines so only one other household at a time.

@HoneyBee03 do you or the people you invite round have school aged children?

Yep no issues. We've done 6 adults and 2 babies, so 3 households.

I wouldn't even think anything of it anymore
