That's really odd, how on earth can the two of you catch a cold if you've both been careful? I was thinking that not getting one was only the good thing about the virus.
Same here @B3, with a cold. I know I haven't got covid as we had a negative swab test a few days ago. Invited to a test by the Zoe tracker App.
Unfortunately, all the test tells you is that you didn't have the virus at the time of the test. It doesn't mean you can't catch it. Runny, snotty nose is not a symptom of Covid.
Given all the grumps about late or incomplete deliveries and perishables with immediate or short "used by" dates I'm quite sure it would be quicker, safer and more sure to go and do your own shopping. Pick a time that's likely to be quiet and don't forget your mask.
Trying to fit in a full shop between both of us working six or seven days a week while looking after two young kids hasn't been easy. Deliveries were a great time saver even before the pandemic.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
Thanks @KT53 I should point out that I was a Biomedical Scientist, & have worked in virus labs and well know that a negative test is only valid the day it's done. It's simply that I am confident that the symptoms I have are NOT covid 19.
It has just taken 20mins to buy an airmail postage label for a Christmas card. The label is bigger than the envelope and I am quite worn out from jumping through hoops! What happened to the little airmail stickers you could buy on-line and print off?

On the rare times I've had a flu, it whacks you without warning.

It might also be ivy pollen which does it for me too.
