Confused about whether I should self isolate or not

I have v mild cold symptoms, an occasional runny nose and sore throat. No loss of taste or smell. None of the 3 main symptoms. I'm double jabbed and don't feel particularly unwell. But I'm due to meet friends tomorrow and now not sure what to do.

I've done the online 111 thing and it just tells me I don't have the main Covid symptoms and to call back if new symptoms emerge. So do I just go about my weekend as normal or do I stay at home waiting to see if I develop a cough or temp?!

I would rather do a PCR test sooner rather than later but it seems I have to have one of the 3 symptoms first .. or do I just assume I don't have Covid? (I've read that a runny nose and sore throat could be the start of it though...,)

Anyone been in similar position or have any advice?

If they updated the 3 symptoms with those delta symptoms we are hearing about then perhaps they couldn't cope with the demand...

Demand is only going to go up if we don’t catch cases now
