All I want for Christmas is a lateral flow test kit (Dorset/Somerset area)

So we have unexpectedly run out of LFTs (thought we had a pack more than we did but turns out dc have been testing without mentioning it, the scamps!Grin) and there are none in my town and none to order from gov.uk.

Anyone in Dorset/Somerset know of a place where they are available?

Keep checking the gov website, I found none this morning but was able to order some at lunch time.

Our local library have them but not sure if that is just our council doing that or a nationwide thing, might be worth giving them a call.

I'm near j22 of the M5 and can spare a box.

Ah, great tips re. checking website and local library - the last box I got was from a van outside a music venue, so there are some random places like that, I know.

Very kind offer, TheImpossibleGirl, but I'm going to be in the Yeovil/Frome area tomorrow and you're just that little bit further west than I'd ideally like to go. Thanks anyway Smile.

Keep trying govt website - I was able to order some about 9am this morning.

Not in your area (Cheshire) but I have just been to Asda and they were giving them out at the door on your way out, they had stacks and stacks of them, might be worth a FB post or similar to see if anywhere is doing the same near you?

I've literally just ordered some
From the gov website, as in 30'seconds ago

Our library has loads as no one seems to realise they can get them from there...fingers crossed yours is the same.

Yesss, just ordered a pack!

But for belt & braces, will also do a tour of local libraries tomorrow, followed by supermarkets if no joy.

I think we might be in business, thanks all Smile.
