It’s what you expected but sorry it was a positive test. Hopefully it will be mild like your oh….which will be better than the old days when we felt obliged and battled on with horrendous colds. At least you’ll get chance for some r&r.January spends - £587.582

Sorry your test was positive. At least you have an excuse to do very little other than entertain the dog.

Off to bed now. Suddenly went very tired so not going to fight it.
If the other half's progress is anything to go by I should hopefully feel a bit brighter tomorrow.
I have left him cleaning the pots from Sunday dinner and then playing in the garden with the dog.1 -

Sounds like a good plan for the day RS. I think the reason for 11 days on the initial T&T contact is because it IS still that but with the proviso of 2 negative tests on day 5/6 meaning you get to escape early. I'm guessing they've left it that way to avoid folk conveniently "forgetting" that they do need those clear LFT's to get out again on day 6!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

We had a rubbish night's sleep last night thanks to my hacking cough and burning sore throat. I can really see why some people struggled with this prior to the vaccination programme. It seems to have calmed down a bit for now 🤔2 -
Symptoms are always worse at night, hope you recover quickly. Thank goodness for the vaccine.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2
