    @Crazybeelady, sorry to hear you've both got Covid as well, hope you get better soon.

    It sounds odd, but I'm quite relieved to have actually caught it at last. I know I can catch it again but feel like I've joined the club as it were. At least OH and I don't have to

  • I know what you mean @Lizzie27. I'm due to go on my much delayed honeymoon in 3 weeks and it's a big holiday, we need to test before we go and the thought of that being positive fills me with dread.  Hopefully this means we'll be clear then.

    It hasn't been too bad, just cold symptoms - my husband has been a bit "what was all the fuss about, it's not even bad" but I have been reminding him that we have had three jabs against it!! Might have been a different story otherwise.

    Thanks for the spring booster info folks, I'll pass it on to my parents. It's over 6 months since their last one, they are well over 75 and haven't been invited for a spring booster yet. If it has to be booked online rather than through GPs they won't have got a notification because they've only recently got a mobile phone and won't have given the number to the NHS. I might have to book it for them.

    I hope the hospital are more receptive, @pansyface 🤞. Not least so you can stop bothering with it all!

    I seem to remember reading something official recently which spoke of the terminology around who is eligible for the spring booster has been (somewhat subtly) changed  (immuno-compromised - immuno-suppressed etc )... I can't find where it was, but this does go some way to explaining

    Perhaps @punkdoc can explain further?

    Being frustrated or bored is better than being ill with Covid @pansyface.  try and bypass the whole lot by going online to book an appointment as others have done.   Then, if you do have to go out for some reason you'll know you're better protected which is important for your partner too.

    Wish I could @Dovefromabove.
    It is incomprehensible to me, and to others I have talked to about it.

    Oh dear @punkdoc ... I rather suspected it might be one of those bits of government-speak designed to mean all things to all people ... that's why I used the word 'perhaps'.
    Bro is similarly confused.
