Good morning Friday.

Ho dear Gal does that mean you have to isolate as well take care xxx stay calm

[Gal2]

It surely does Saundra! I CAN go out for exercise, but not to shops or to work.....last week I'd have loved a break but not like this

Thanks everyone, he's not too bad in himself atm, coughing but so far so good x

Certainly the test can be uncomfortable. I opted for an assisted one, at our drive-thru centre, as I was sure I would chicken out of getting the swab far enough up my nose - I have a deviated septum and it was pretty painful Good luck to Tom, and I hope you get the result back soon (((x)))

Tom said there wasn't an option for an assisted one, in fact he said it was quite impersonal - he went to wind down his window and was shouted at "Keep your window shut!", they took details off his phone (the QR code) through the glass, then went round to the passenger side to receive the swab and instructions but again was shouted at to "only down 2inches!" He said if he hadn't realised how far up it had to go he probably wouldn't have done it correctly and may have had a false reading

Blimey The woman who did ours was nice, very sweet when I explained about my septum and said she would be as gentle as possible.
