Still no results...!

[namedchange112]

DD2 has a cough on Tuesday/Wednesday (with a cold... no temperature). Ordered home test and posted it back Wednesday afternoon- tracking shows it was received at testing lab at 8am on Thursday. Was hoping for results this morning but still nothing - anyone with first hand of timeframes for home tests being returned at the moment?

We have a dinner arranged tonight with two friends I haven't seen in a long time and really didn't want to cancel seeing as DD hasn't coughed once since Wednesday afternoon! DD1 (12) is itching to go into town with her friends and is being pretty vile in the meantime... the worst part of isolation!

So pleased for you @GrumpySausage! I hope the service goes well.

72 hours here and still nothing. Called the helpline and automated response saying can no longer chase. Arghhh.

So I rang 119 this morning and really put my foot down that I want it chasing. Test was Thursday at 4pm still no results. He asked for the barcode which I wasn’t given. He said that’s the problem then. I should have been given a bar code. He cheapies my details and no test registered.
Went for a re-test this afternoon and have this time been given a bar code! Hopefully hear something soon..

DD1's test has been 49 hours so far. She isn't actually feeling well enough for school, but she can't return until it's back anyway.
