If you had mild symptoms, what were they?

As the title says, if you feel you may have had the virus and they were mild symptoms, what were they. I know, difficult to know without being tested, but if you realised you had been around infected people and then you got mild symptoms etc..

My DD2 woke up on the sat morning with a temp of 38.5 and sore throat. Temp was back to normal within 36 hours and sore throat gone after a few days.
On the Monday I woke up and my sense of taste and smell had completely vanished overnight. This lasted 6 days. On the 6th day my eyes were watery and my nose was running with a clear watery substance. On the 7th day I was back to normal.
Obviously haven’t been tested but apparently the loss of smell and taste are common in milder cases of the virus. So I’m pretty sure I’ve had it.
DD1 aged 14 has had no symptoms at all, despite the 3 of us being at home for weeks. So I’m not sure whether she has had it with no symptoms (I hope she has).

I had a sore throat for a week and then 3 days of chest tightness and some burning sensation in my chest, short of breath. Tiredness for a day or two. Headaches for about a week. No temperature I think. Dd had a day or two of sore eyes and feeling tired, a few days later. GP said it sounded like coronavirus. Of course it may not have been, who knows.

I'm hoping I've had a mild dose but could easily have been a cold so who knows.

I had, a cold like feeling behind my nose, like a cloud of chalk dust was lodged at the back of my nose and throat but never "broke" into a cold. I coughed and my chest became tight and wheezy and I needed my inhaler several times a day for 5 days. I lost my appetite completely plus my sense of taste and smell went totally for 7 days. In addition to this I was very tired, nauseous and had random aches and pains.
As I started to recover I had daily headaches, stomach cramps and one big bout of diarrhoea.

Never any fever though which makes me think that it's not Coronavirus 🤷‍♂️
