Well I see that 200 odd of you have looked at this thread but not joined in. Lessons so far. You get inundated with messages from test and trace. [OMG LFT tests have literally just arrived on the doorstep ordered just before Xmas]


T&T requires a ten letter password, whereas the other NHS ones an 8 letter so can't use the more generic ones OK for sites you wouldn't expect to be hacked.


The system counts from when you put the test result into the system, rather than the date of the PCR, or even when you probably first had it, so there is a few days lag. So say got it on the 22nd, positive PCR on 24th, test result on 26th, and entered it a day later (thought it would go into the system automatically) 7 days takes me to the 3rd rather than around today.


T&T wants to take you back quite a long way for your contacts, even though was not contagious as LFT'd regularly.


T&T doesn't seem to align with family members/close contacts who are also positive and has beeped some of them.


T&T does not take into account that the first thing you do when finding your household is positive is to contact those you may have passed it onto (fortunately nobody else has got it - although we older family members were not socialising much).


Overall T&T a bit clunky but not dreadful.


LFTs ran out in pharmacies before Xmas but fortunate to borrow some, and got an order in on the gov website in the short windows when it was taking orders, as said literally just been delivered.


Younger members of household now negative and can be released tomorrow pending further negative LFT.


Interesting to know how the lurgy progressed in the household, who gave it to who, original source (have some views on this). We've been very good in isolation as I am sure most of us have been/will be.

We all were. Felt quite ill for a few days (not terrible though).


T&T not really relevant for me because I hadn't been out the house except to test, so no experience of that. PCR test centres all very well ran, and all seem very quiet. So - as malumbu pointed out - it is very odd that tests close to home (or a choice of centres) not really available.


As I very obviously had symptoms I waited out the full 10 day period and then some, before venturing out of the house.


Oh, and if you don't get vaccinated (without valid medical reason) then you're a moron.

    • In fact there was a promotional leaflet came through the letter box today, for sending by RM's parcel post by buying online.  There are also options mentioned for having the labels printed  at a Collect+ store or at a Parcel Locker.  More info at https://www.royalmail.com/.
    • Is it? Let's see  Farming is a tough gig with increasingly lower returns, if farms have to sell off land to pay inheritance tax it will reduce their ability to survive. Which in real terms could mean more farm land lost and more reliance on imported food which sees money flowing out, not in to the country.  But I guess as long as you get cheap food that doesn't concern you 😉  Lol "what about the cars"  again Mal... like a broken record....  Governments know that squeezing car drivers for more fuel duty will drive down income from taxes as people switch to electric, which would leave them with a black hole in income. Guess the fuel duty is a fine balancing act tiĺl enough electric cars have been sold to raise tax revenue from their use. 
    • Hello - if anyone is in need of sofa/rug/carpet cleaning, we have recently had a very good experience with husband and wife team Kate and Vlad. They're a very reasonable cost and the result was great (don't look too closely at the colour of the water that comes out!) Kate's number is 07731 140246
