They say you can continue to test positive for weeks after you've caught it and after you're no longer contagious.
Unless you have new symptoms you aren't supposed to take an LFT for 90 days. Although you said you were symptom clear for a short while?

I felt shot for a day and a half originally, in bed with the aches, coughing and blocked up. On day 7 I felt very lethargic again and a little achey so spent the day in bed once more. Other than that my only symptoms now are a lingering sporadic cough and still a bit of blocked nose.
I’m waiting for another PCR to arrive

Are you sure about that? That advice is true for PCR tests (assuming no new symptoms) but not for LFD as far as I can tell.

You should not use this service if you’ve received a positive PCR test result in the last 90 days, unless you get any new COVID-19 symptoms.
"I don't think there's any clear guidance on what to do if, for example, your 7th/10th day LFD test is still positive.

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.
