Is that a two week wait for an appointment to discuss the results or two weeks for the results to be returned?Update.
Been to Doctors.
Got blood test forms.
Blood tests are now strictly by appointment. Mine is August 26th.
After that its a 2 week wait for results.
Doc was asking loads of questions to which I replied "I really don't care.......I just want to know what the problem is".
Ahh well, at least I am getting closer to knowing
I ask because I know our practice gets results back in 2-3 days. The two week wait at my GP is for the results appointment. A new appointment is made the day the bloods are taken.
After four days I breathe easy because the last thing I want is the "Dr xxxx would like to see you tomorrow" phone call.

I'm a bit peeved. At Christmas I went to Selfridges in the Trafford Centre to buy a very expensive Joe Malone candle for a special friend. It came in a nice box and in a natty little designer Joe Malone carrier bag. The bag was free.
I ordered some Joe Malone eau de cologne from Selfridges for Mrs P's birthday. Did this online. I opted to pay £5 for gift wrapping thinking they will do a better job than me. It's arrived today. 👍
The gift wrapping? A Joe Malone carrier bag identical to the Christmas one but I paid a fiver for it!!!!! 😲😠👎

A week tomorrow for the actual sample to be taken.
The Doc tells me it will be 2 weeks after that for the results.

As usual I cannot remember which but some tests do take a couple of weeks. My usual ones are back in 2 or 3 days but one certainly took a lot longer so you may not be getting the run around.

I seem to have no serious eye problems but blocked ducts in one eye which cause irritation due to dryness. While there I order driving glasses as one eye is getting s bit dodgy. With one thing and another I escaped with a total bill of £139 which includes £4 postage to send me the new specs.
To celebrate had a nice run up Loch Creran in the sunshine for lunch. The pic is on a bridge near the head where the road gets covered at high spring tides and is decidedly rough.

Had a walk up to Grimspound Bronze Age village this morning.

We then went up to Princetown to pick up some shopping. The prison was looking suitably grim and menacing.

We then had a walk through the Belever woods before nipping up to the Warren House Inn for a light lunch. Mrs D had a pasty, I had the Rabbit pie.

Bit miffed that it wasn't a 'proper' pie, but it was very nice all the same.
The next site we stay at is off grid.........and guess who left the solar panel at home?!
Tomorrow's weather looks crap, so we'll nip home and pick it up, then straight back in time for lunch. I could kick myself.
There still in the process of building the village then?😖😖😖

Any pie that does not fully encase the food in pastry is an abomination.

Pavement is about 10 yards long.

Hmmm!Exactly!
A pie has a short crust pastry casing.
Anything else is an imposter!

Disagree just had a puff pastry pie.... chicken and chorizo. Magnificent. I should stress that the pub has struggled to keep up with demand ALL days of the week. To busy to get a pie Thursday(traditional pie night) and couldn't get a takeaway on Saturday. Even though I was in pub for 3 hours (albeit drinking beer). Contents contents contents that's what counts. Happy with chicken and chorizo but prefer ox cheek, just to busy 'post" coronavirus!! To start cooking ox cheek at 10am. Landlord/chef looks wrecked.
