I have had a couple of PCR tests locally, got one result back same day and the other first thing next morning. If you have a site near you it only takes a couple of minutes, don’t even get out of the car….might be worth considering?

Good luck for a good (nearly said ‘positive’!) outcome!
I was thinking of that but I have symptoms so not supposed to leave the house, rules are different here in the Soviet Republic of Wales. Mrs P has no symptoms, has tested negative yet she still can’t go to work.

Got £7 reduction a month for the life of
an 18 month contract with virgin media.
Been with them for years, but they couldn't do a TV deal thrown in.
I stated that you are doing a Black friday
deal bundle for new customers at less than i'm paying just for broadband.
Fell on deaf ears, script reading wankers.

Thought you should be able to go to test centre. You wouldn't be leaving the car.

Tested positive for f”ing covid. Been feeling like shit for last couple of days and Mrs P made me take a test when she got home from work last night. Waiting on PCR test kit now.
Look on the bright side, pup has to isolate with you for ten days.

I had a close call.
Neighbours on one side got it but the wife visited neighbour, Marie, on other side of me before she got tested.
I had to go into Marie to sort tv 3 days later, then the positive result came out.

I had been talking to the wife over the wall the day before she got tested also.

Lucky escape.

Neither of us got any symptoms.
I was checking temperature as well.

Hopefully this falls into ‘sucking eggs’ you can have it without displaying symptoms - apparently it is very common. Personally I would do a test.

I may be mistaken here but isn’t it typically kids that have it without displaying symptoms?

Booked the chunnel !
BIG moment for us, having barely been anywhere since returning home in March 20
And what a bonus !!!
Went to book on line. Total inc dog was £298
Logged in and started the booking process
Got a message ... Please call us
Rang up.. they told me that because of a cock up on this years refund and as a goodwill gesture all I had to pay was £90
Then I told them I had Tescos vouchers as well and ended up paying just £45 :)

Been there, and had one

Tesco vouchers are a great help at 3 to 1 - but they don’t allow them for use with an animal (who would want to take a bloody ferret?) I regularly see cats being carried.

I’m assuming you booked a return trip to get that price (£298) as I paid something like £170 each way with miss Molly - but I never book a return trip as I never know when I’ll be back.

btw, my passport wasn’t stamped either direction, perhaps scanned I don’t know, but others travelling with me on the same day were stopped, searched and stamped. The concerns are that if it isn’t stamped, or stamped only in one direction, then it’s feasible to be charged with overstaying the 90/180 Schengen shite.

Topped off the diesel for the onboard heater, put the Spanish gas bottles in the garage in the van and made sure I had all the correct fittings on board....

No sleep last night due to toothache, oddly enough it seems to have cleared up now, maybe the salt water rinses worked.
Took Bev to Birstall to pick up some Christmas prezzies she’d ordered, bought myself a new printer.
Called in B&Q in Wakey & bought a new toilet & sink for the bathroom in t’other house, just need a bath for it.

Golf.

Broke 80:zpong:


Shame we can only play the first eleven holes :eusa_whistle:this week as there is a major scientific and structural survey on the cliff edge.

Got home and spent the rest of the day laid up, the back is really causing some problems at the moment.
