I would love to stop supply teaching at this point but its our only income. And I work for an agency so if schools close again we're completely fucked.

Yeah, everyone is jabbed and boosted - will be mainline train home. I'll decide next week... but wish I could get some Lateral Flow Tests to check. There isn't much margin for error if it goes wrong.

Oh. How come you can’t get some LFTs?
there's been a run on them today, for some reason, and understand that the government / NHS website where you can ask to have some posted to you ran out today. not sure how soon they will have a supply again.
i did pass a (lambeth) council tent thing that had a supply to hand out this morning, near waterloo station. there may be similar locally.

Oh, no - hadn’t heard that. I got a few a couple of months back.

Anyone want to buy an LFT kit? Make me an offer

Hopefully the supply will be back soon cos the advice is to test yourself before social interaction & even going to the shops was mentioned.
I got another pack last week & do a test about once a week but if I followed the advice to the letter I should be doing one every day I go to work.

could have been that the website was overloaded
they did make getting LFT's a bit more difficult a couple of months back, in that you are supposed to go on the website and get a reference number, then take that to the chemist's shop, rather than just go and ask at the chemist's (not sure how rigid they are about it though)

It was on the news that they had run out or were running out.

I'll swap you for £50 woth of unleaded in a plastic bag.
You can order for delivery through your letterbox too...

Really? I thought you could just sign in and order one pack of seven once a day. I got mine sent to me cos I couldn’t do the ones my work provided as I couldn’t do the throat swab thing and these ones only require you to torment your nose

sorry - i wasn't clear
yes, you can still (assuming they have any in stock) go on the website and get some sent to your home address
but you can't (in theory at least) just go in to a chemist's and get some now
some councils have places (either offices or tent things on streets or temporary shops) where you can go and get some
and some employers have a supply as well

Oh right, I wasn’t aware getting them from the chemist was another option. You can get them from other places too I think - libraries and other local government places that the public visit

Not the end of the world, but eldest Master Smiles is off school today, because Mrs Smiles took a parents Whatsapp group roumour as gospel and throught the school was closed. Cancelled his transport, and now he's going to have to come to the dentist with me later. I ring school this morning to see why we've not heard from them and he should be in, it's only one class off

You might be able to get LFTs from your local authority via libraries and community centres. My LA does this. Bet they run out soon though

Youngest Q failed her driving test on Monday, she had booked it back in August so the CoVID backlog was running at 4 months then, she rebooked it yesterday and it's now running at 6 months her next test will be 26th May (after she turns 20 in fact)
Her instructor told her at the time he told her to book it that it would only take two or three weeks.

1. Put my car in for MOT this morning.
2. Got back. Daughter who lives with us tests positive on lateral flow.
3. I have chronic fatigue. Nearest PCR site is 1.3 miles walk away. Car is at garage.
4. My booster and flu jag is on Thursday and I’ll be self isolating.
5. So I hope it’s not omicron.
Fuck Covid.

Can you order a home test PCR?

The postal PCRs I did for my kids last week came back pretty quick. Just make sure you put them in a priority post box.

So I tested positive.
Gutted for you, I hope it's mild & passes soon.
So, that's your daughter & you, how about your wife?
