5yo starts coughing 16th September.
Finally manage to get a home test on 18th September after trying tirelessly for 48 hours.
Test arrives 19th September which is a Saturday so there is no post
Courier arranged for 20th - sample taken as advised at 9pm on 19th ready for collection the next day
courier never turns up
test is wasted
sample can't be used
child is day 6 now so cannot be tested elsewhere.
7yo started coughing on 17th, but as I have already had a test we cannot have another?
So we are now quarantined until 1st October!
Shall I just give up now and home school?
