119 told us very clearly that without the ability to do another PCR test, a positive LFT should be taken as that and you should isolate. Strange LFT pattern though, personally I've not heard of similar.

This isn't the advice online from the NHS. They say you can continue to test positive for weeks after you've caught it and after you're no longer contagious. Barring showing "hard" symptoms (fever, not cough) you're very unlikely to be contagious after 10 days and are free.
I'm free tomorrow.
More from NHS:
You can stop self-isolating after the 10 days if either:
you do not have any symptoms
you just have a cough or changes to your sense of smell or taste – these can last for weeks after the infection has gone
When to keep self-isolating after 10 days
If you have a high temperature after the 10 days, or are feeling unwell, keep self-isolating and seek medical advice.
So I tested positive on the 22nd and tmr should be my day ten of isolation. 26th and 27th my positive line was practically gone so was looking good for potential early isolation exit.
Wife tested positive on 27th. I then had a day of feeling shit again and strong positive lines on my tests returned on the 29th and again today.
If I’m still testing positive tmr am I allowed out of isolation after day 10?
Could I have got it twice in short succession?!
