Re: Guess What Dropped On My Doormat This Morning?!
The bit that I'd noticed was the passage regarding the samples being received no more than 14 days after the date of the first deposit on the kit - I've always wondered whether that was an arbitrary or critical period, i.e. does the sample go "off" after a fortnight .....
Personally, I always complete my deposits ASAP .....

I didn't expect to be sent another test kit after the age of 74,but one dropped through My letterbox on My 75th Birthday ,it's a much easier test called 'FIT' and consists of one narrow tube.....it's so much easier to use with less 'arsing about'
..results came back normal this morning..hooray

The test has a stick attached to the lid, this is used to take one small poo sample and then placed back into the tube.

That kit looks far more professional than the cardboard kits in England - if they're plastic, are they recyclable, though?
The FIT kit will be used in England from April Ist think...don't know if it's recyclable though!
