Back at work tomorrow (not WFH) so I'd like to be testing regularly but I've been looking on gov.uk since xmas eve and it keep saying none available - am I looking at the wrong times of day, or have they been out all this time?
No local pharmacies ever seem to have any either

Last evening, first attempt.

Bellyups · 03/01/2022 17:45

Today with no issues at all!

Smokeahontas · 03/01/2022 17:45

First thing in the morning, before 8am. Also around 12 / 1pm.

ktpurplej · 03/01/2022 17:46

Ordered some about 30 mins ago, first try too

CazM2012 · 03/01/2022 17:48

I can order them, none are turning up though the first order attempt was 2 weeks ago and we are completely out now, I am meant to test before work (4/5 days a week) and DH has had an email to test before returning tomorrow. Got everything crossed at least one box arrives in the post tomorrow before his shift.

CormoranStrike · 03/01/2022 17:48

Today yes. Two days ago yes. Yesterday no.

We are a family of four, and with three regularly going out we need to test often.

WhiteJellycat · 03/01/2022 17:50

I have just ordered some too and I have been trying multiple times a day over Christmas

Plantsandpuddlesuits · 03/01/2022 17:51

Just got some of, keep checking, there were none around lunch for me but got them now. This is the postal ones BTW

crochetmylifeaway · 03/01/2022 17:51

Yup. I managed to order for everyone in my household today no problem at all.

TwoBigNoisyBoys · 03/01/2022 17:54

Have just been on the government website in the last two minutes and ordered some no problem, hopefully will be arriving in 2/3 days if says…

WillYouDoTheFandango · 03/01/2022 17:55

Yes. Just ordered some to be sent to my home now. We are currently positive but need some for the day 6&7 tests. Interesting that you have to say you have no symptoms to get some when they’re now doing test to release.

cloudyrain · 03/01/2022 17:56

I have ordered a box for me and one for DH in the last few days. We have used up our supply over the festivities and sent the last few back to uni with the DC.

We are ready to go to work/visit elderly relatives as needed

irregularegular · 03/01/2022 17:56

It's strange. Some people got them at various times today. Yet I've tried a few times today and they keep being unavailable.

AnyFucker · 03/01/2022 17:57

Just ordered some this minute

WorraLiberty · 03/01/2022 17:59

Yesterday - 3rd attempt but only left about 15 mins between attempts.

WorraLiberty · 03/01/2022 18:00

It felt like sniping a bid on Ebay 😂

FawnFrenchieMum · 03/01/2022 18:00

I got some today at about 11am but haven’t been able to for the last few days.

They do update throughout the day so it’s just the luck of keep trying.

dontcallmelen · 03/01/2022 18:01

Been trying since a couple of days before Christmas, no luck as yet.

ExtremelyDetermined · 03/01/2022 18:01

Ordered some about an hour ago. This is my 4th order over the last fortnight or so and they've all turned up in a couple of days.

Justkeeppedaling · 03/01/2022 18:03

Keep trying. They seem to be releasing them in batches.

dontcallmelen · 03/01/2022 18:05

@Justkeeppedaling

Keep trying. They seem to be releasing them in batches.
Just tried again it lets me type in all the details, then says none available.
SwedishEdith · 03/01/2022 18:05

Managed today - first time since when I started trying last Thursday.

RevolutionRadio · 03/01/2022 18:09

Ordered, but haven't arrived, hoping it's because of bank holidays. I have tried to order since then for my dps but after entering details says there's no slots left.

WildImaginings · 03/01/2022 18:48

Just managed to get some a minute ago. I've tried multiple times over the last few days and no luck.

PurpleDaisies · 03/01/2022 18:50

Got a code. Turned up at pharmacy to collect them only to find there weren’t any.
