    I noticed this afternoon while playing monopoly that I am starting with a sore throat. Wouldn't be surprised if I test positive in the morning 😕

    Hope not, hope it's just a sore throat!  or at worst a cold starting.

    With it being cold outside, quite a few people have been coming down with colds. Hopefully it’s that you have. Xx

  • If you’ve tested negative on LFTs, the sore throat now is less likely to be covid as you would already have been infectious. That’s the science anyway - fingers crossed it holds true for you!

    It will be no spends day number 9 for January. 

    Breakfast and dinner will be from stores. Full English for breakfast, possibly on the bbq if the other half wants to, and dinner later is roast chicken and all the trimmings. 

    I am fairly certain that when I get up and take a LFT this morning that it will be positive. But we shall see in an hour or so.

    Ahh bother - how annoying when the OH is so relatively far through his too. Have you established whether the 5 day thing will apply to you or does it not because it only officially starts for positives taken tomorrow?

    Either way, take it easy if you’re showing symptoms - like most flu type things rest and good hydration sounds like the way forward for this one. Hopefully you’ll be OK.
