00:00What we're doing is three little bottles.

00:02Three little bottles.

00:04Where's one of them in there?

00:06Just here. There we go.

00:08So you've got red one number one, blue is number two, and the white one is number three.

00:12Okay.

00:13Because that's where the magic happens.

00:14This here?

00:15If you open that, that's got the test kit in it.

00:17Right.

00:21So you've washed your hands already, which is great.

00:23Make sure they're nice and warm, that will help.

00:25Warm. And just for other people, I think the best place is here.

00:28So don't use your right hand, use your right hand for the lancet, and then use the other hand for where you're going.

00:34Okay, here we go.

00:35Here we go, let's do it.

00:37And it's just pressed here, is it?

00:39Yeah, just press there. There's a little spring in it, so you get a little shock, but it doesn't hurt.

00:43Shock. You were so right.

00:51Rub your finger a little bit. There we go.

00:53You want to drop that into the red.

00:58There we go.

00:59Is that enough?

01:00That'll be enough.

01:01That is it.

01:03And give it a big shake.

01:04Four times they say. Wonderful.

01:06There we go.

01:07Excellent. And if you want to pour that into the testing device.

01:11So that goes in there?

01:12That's the start of the process, yeah.

01:13Okay, here we go.

01:14So you let that go through.

01:15Very good.

01:16And then you shake the white solution.

01:17Again, you don't put this in until that has gone through.

01:22Okay, there we go.

01:24This is sent to you through the post.

01:26Exactly.

01:27So you can do this at home.

01:28So you can order it online, so it's confidential.

01:30It'll be sent to your house in a very discreet envelope, and it will then arrive in this kit form.
