    It definitely seems strange that they say we don’t pass the virus on after 10 days but can still get positive result…..but that’s what the experts reckon.

    Not a no spends day today. I have a home shopping delivery coming later today.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores. Breakfast was crumpets, the other half has taken his packed lunch to work, I have some turkey and vegetable rice for my lunch today and dinner tonight is cajun salmon, singapore noodles and stir fried vegetables.

    Today's jobs include:
    • working from home
    • cleaning the bathrooms
    • load of washing
    • plugging in the van and sticking the heating on it for an hour or so to warm it through
    • Sorting and putting away the home shopping delivery
    Last day of working from home today. It is back into the office tomorrow. I have still tested positive this morning. It is my last day of isolation today though. Will be nice to get out of the house tomorrow even if it is to go to work. Only one day in the office before I have a long weekend off so it will be a nice ease back into working in the office again.

    Happy Birthday, I think its today

    Is other half negative now or hasn't he been testing after 10 days?

    I've also heard of a few still testing positive throughout the 10 days. 

    Its not much use cutting the self isolation period if it doesn't actually work in practice.

    The other half has stopped testing now. Didn't see there was much point carrying on if he is back at work. 

    He is still getting very tired, very quickly as well. I suspect he would still test positive if he did a test.
