Good point. Those thresholds were triggered the next day (high temperature) and this morning (cough + sense of taste gone). It's all happening at scrabble towers today!
Weirdest thing is having spent 18 months trying to avoid this virus I now have a grizzly 6 year old coughing it round the whole house. Ideally we'd isolate somewhat into different rooms, but in a two up two down semi with a patio garden and one bathroom between the fours of us- this is impossible.

For what its worth, I feel for your situation! I'd be pretty miserable about having to self isolate as a household of two in a 2 bed flat. Not having kids to worry about has made this pandemic significantly easier for us.
Technically we are only advised to get a PCR test if we have:
a high temperature
a new, continuous cough
you’ve lost your sense of smell or taste or it’s changed
So, if you were following government guidance, you'd still be none the wiser.
