Bloody NHS Covid Passport Dilemma... help!

Need some advice from people more experienced and less frantic than me!
Due to travel to Spain in 12 days.... God knows why I thought that would be a good idea with all the stress!
Both DH and I vaccinated fully. DS under 12 so no vaccination or tests to fly needed.
My Covid passport worked before ... I tested it, all good for 30 days.
Yesterday got a positive PCR test result and need to isolate for a further 7 days... that's also fine as isolation ends 5 days before flight date. DS and DH negative.
Checked today and my Covid passport has now disappeared! I can understand why it won't be valid today or at this point but there is no info on when it will be reinstated or what the process is and am worried I don't get it back working before we fly, even if I am recovered and completed isolation ! What now ?! Has this happened to anyone ? Did you get the covid pass reinstated after 10 days digitally ? Or does the vaccination status now go out the window and I need a pre-flight PCR "fit to fly" test as I won't get a covid passport again ?
So frustrated as just don't know how it works now and what to expect .... anyone had this same experience and can enlighten me please? Thanks !
AIBU - just trust the system it will be OK
AINBU - get a fit to fly test as its now stuffed up

@Noangelbuthavingfun we got back Sunday. Day 2 LFTs were both done on Tuesday.

As expected, nobody cared.

@Lemonsole it's pure money making ! I won't bother sending the tests back next time... you just pay for a reference to go on a passenger locator form.. that's it

I agree. Performative - and with no chance that it will stop any covid in its tracks.
Basically a travel tax.
