Morning Tuesday

[JoM]

Jan, the guidance here when we had it was that you could go out if still testing positive after 10 days as long as you didn’t have a temperature. No certificate needed.

Good morning all

Best of luck for E today Jen, hope all goes to plan. And happy birthday to your daughter
Kaz, hope Becks doesn't feel too bad with it all - Nadine felt really rough for three days, whereas Karl and Amelia had little more than a sore throat. But makes sense to stay away for D for a few days as hard as it is.
Jan, your poor friend, sounds like a horrid time for him
Jo, I think that current guidelines are that if you're testing positive, but are fully vaccinated and asymptomatic then you can continue going out and about. But if you have any symptoms or aren't feeling well or are not vaccinated then you have to go with the 10 day at home thing


Didn't have the best nights sleep last night so this morning I decided to remove the warmer duvet and put the summer one back on and use that with a blanket instead. I've just been getting so warm at night; and I can't really have the window wide open because my bed is right under the window and the wind that comes through has a definite chill to it. So hopefully with the thinner duvet plus blanket it'll make for a more comfy sleep.

I'm in the office today and it's amazing just how much busier the trains are getting again; the car park at the station is filling up again as well. And more and more people are not bothering with masks anymore - it will be interesting to see what happens to statistics in the next few months.

Have a lovely day everyone x

Jen, is E in for his other hip?

It' an appointment to meet the new consultant and hopefully get some idea of when he can have his hip done Crommers. He's texted to say he's on his way home so fingers crossed I'll know more when he gets back.

Ria, I’ve just had a look as I wasn’t sure of the guidelines. It’s just an advisory now that you isolate for at least 5 days if you test positive, it’s no longer a legal requirement that you have to do so.

[Kaz]

Yes it's 10 days, but if you feel well by day five you can take an LFT that day, then another on the next and resume normal activity if both are negative.

I've managed to get hold of two more boxes of tests, so we're well stocked up.

[miasmum]

Kaz I think Jo is right. You don’t have to isolate at all of you feel ok or even if you don’t It’s all advisory now. Although I could be wrong.

Hope Becky is ok

[Kaz]

Yes, I just read up on it. B feels quite rough, like a heavy cold, so will test on day 5. Her work don't want her back until she's negarive. The rest of us have tested, and are carrying on pretty much as normal.
