Ok, so this morning there was an envolope wedges in our letter box addressed to me, inside it contained a urine test sample bottle, a few leaflets and a letter saying how the NHS were carrying out testing within my age group and area.

At first I thought it was some kind of joke from my ex, a quick call to her and she assures me that this is not the case. So, do the NHS often carry out these wide spread piss tests by post?

Bet the sorting office is loving the prospect of jars without properly secured lids biggrin

Actually, isn't there some regulation about sending bodily waste through the postal system?

eta - unless they're asking you to drop the jars in to your GP or summat.

The jars come with a tube and a 'biohazard' bag to post them back in.

And I'm in West Yorkshire, and 23, so is it a UK wide thing?

Anyone got any idea's what i could fill the bottle up with for them to test? biggrin
