Have a 70th birthday party planned for the 22nd January,having doubts about people wanting to mix. Would you attend a party for approximately 120 people ? Need to make a decision!

Glad to read you've decided to cancel it.

I'm now 72 but am hoping to celebrate my 70th at the end of April. It's been arranged three times now !

I would have gone. I’m triple vaccinated and am not at all concerned about getting something that would probably only amount to cold like symptoms. Life has to go on

Not wise at all. I missed out on my big family 80th, 15 months ago
I was obviously upset about it but realised that one missed birthay celebration seemed a small price to pay than no further birthdays ?

No I wouldn't...

Am I the only person who would have gone!

We attended a family wedding on 27 December and it turned into a super spreader event. About 90 attendees and of our family table of 20 people - 14 are now Covid-19 positive, most were triple vaccinated too (hubby and I missed the bullet thank goodness) and I don’t know about the other 70 odd people.
I didn’t hug and kiss people, and I sprayed Boots First Defence up my nose regularly, they say it helps.
We knew there were risks attached to attending and have not mixed at all since, done regular lateral flow tests and 2 x PCR tests to be 100% safe before visiting my elderly mother.
It’s a tough decision to make. Stay safe everyone

No. I am even having doubts about going to the hairdresser, though I am in desperate need of a cut. Haven't been since the beginning of the pandemic.

120 people would be an enormous risk. Really not a good idea.

Definitely not! I value my health.

Def NO - glad it’s cancelled, was that the venue ? Have something in summer, a birthday is for a year ?

No

Definite No

Happy for you Bellab that its cancelled.

FannyCornforth- i do that, i wont go in lifts with others id rather wait.I go to hosp regularly, for my warfarin levels blood tests(INR) and if others come to lift, even porters with patients etc, i let them take next lift and say its ok ill wait for next after!

Thank you for your comments,with which I totally agree. It is my husband's party and he was unconvinced. Now with relief,it's cancelled.

It’s been cancelled!

Absolutely not.

Good God, No!

I definitely wouldn't go - largely because I don't do parties. But also, because I don't want to risk catching Covid or (worse) becoming a Typhoid Mary.

Definitely not. Too risky.

No.

Bellab - so glad to hear it's cancelled. A neighbour had a 'garden party' with organisers, cooks and a hired marquee, just before Christmas - and was shocked that so few turned up. (I was surprised that they were surprised.)

No

No way.
