Aww that's rubbish, hopefully you get something else sorted

So there I was all clothes and presents packed ready to go home for Christmas, excited about a big night in the village pub. Did a quick covid test like my parents had asked aaannnddd it's positive so no pub tonight, no family meal tomorrow, no boxing day football and will have to see if I can get over it in time to do anything for new years

On the bright side I'm loaded up with booze and have just cracked open the Baileys with an Indian takeaway on order so

his stupidity ruin our Christmas. Its a balance and its one we discussed and
decided on.

Yeah I'm not a big one for constant testing in a situation where covid is becoming something to live with rather than fear and everyone vulnerable is triple jabbed. My folks are still a bit anxious about it though so wanted the certainty of a negative test

Yeah tbh the engagement party probably shouldn't have gone ahead last weekend because most of us who went now have covid lol but ah well, we are where we are

Most Christmas days I wake up with the mother of all hangovers so will see how different this year is

I feel fine thanks Cherie, my only symptoms were a slightly sore throat and mild cough and a bit of fatigue at the end of last week but yesterday and today I've felt absolutely fine. I remember this time last year just after Christmas I had a really bad cold which I thought was Covid but wasn't and that was a lot worse than this has been

I'm hoping I'll get my first negative in the next couple of days

i think its important to get the negative test for confirmation to yourself that it's over and isnt going to bite you a week or 2 down the line

I am now officially negative and ready to party

Great news Matt

Was supposed to be going to my moms for a family get together and takeaway but Luke woke up feeling sick, tested positive on an antigen test so we all did them, me and Gav are negative but my daughter also tested positive so they're isolating in their bedrooms and we're stuck in now too, had to cancel my Christmas drinks with the girls tomorrow too

Took the flow test a few times, was thankfully negative.

But I'm not exactly going to be going out alot anyway until things calm down more
