Hope you feel better soon. Not meant to alarm but we have had 2 instances at work where people have had Covid a second time within 3 months of the first time so might be worth your DD doing an lft.paydbx2025 #26 £890/£5000 . Mortgage start £148k June 23 - now £138k.

Thanks Alchemilla, MF, GAP, HSL and Beanie.
She's done 3 clear LFTs last week. I'll suggest she does another. My LFT - done one yesterday and one today - are clear - but who knows. Will see what my PCR says tomorrow / when results come. I've decided to order another thermometer as mine doesn't always come on despite swapping batteries over... It's come down in price since I last returned one so - win win.

I tried to buy a thermometer almost 2 years ago & cannot believe what the prices had gone to. Hopefully they should have come down a bit now.

Our thermometer is still an old fashioned glass one. I know how to use it and the only thing that can go wrong with it is if we drop it so that'll do us!
Fingers crossed you've just got a grotty cold SH and the PCR comes back clear. There is a crazy amount of Covid about again at the moment though.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡
