Two weeks or so ago
(As people my age have to do)

#BowelScreening FYI just incase you are same, started getting a free Kit sent every 2 years when turned 50 (before Covid) Covid, kits were delayed to approx 6months after birthday. So they remain 6months approx after birthday, as test every 2 years. Delay Shouldn't affect anyone turned 50 post covid

“If you think you’re having a shitty time, just think about the poor soul who has to open all the envelopes!”
(Actually the sample is so tiny, the whole process is very inoffensive)
