I had mine at the weekend - 3am I think! Fingers crossed for you.

JanuaryChill · 16/01/2021 16:59

Yes they do. Email usually arrives simultaneously, although not always. And in the middle of the night apparently.

Gutted2day · 16/01/2021 17:00

Thanks guys - juat wanted to know if my incessant checking is worth it!

Yes I got mine at 10pm last night. I've known people get them at weekends too.

Yes. My negative result came through at 7pm on a Saturday by text.

JustLurkingAway · 16/01/2021 17:08

Yep, had a positive come through at 6am this morning

Appuskidu · 16/01/2021 17:14

Yes-the texts and the emails came hours apart for us though which was strange!

titchy · 16/01/2021 17:15

Gutted2day · 16/01/2021 17:16

My results were texted to me 5.00am Sunday morning

Bitbusyattheminute · 16/01/2021 17:22

Mine took a bit over 24 hours. Then t and t phoned me today.

RadGlags · 16/01/2021 17:25

Had a test at 12:30 yesterday (Fri) afternoon and got the results this morning (sat) at 7:30am.

Also had a test in September at 3:30pm on a Friday, didn’t get the results till the Sunday at 2:30pm.

omg35 · 16/01/2021 17:28

DDs result came about 6am albeit on a weekday. I think they'd send them out 24/7 as it's obvs a huge risk that people won't quarantine til they get their result

Gutted2day · 16/01/2021 17:52

@omg35 i didn't think of that

Yes I get tested every week for work and we've all had results at all sorts of mad times of day/night. I got a positive result at 6am Saturday morning (test was taken on Wednesday and I was asymptomatic, not so asymptomatic now mind you!)

Gutted2day · 16/01/2021 17:59

@RadGlags yeah my partner had a test a few months ago and got it through next day. We are waiting on results, he has work tomorrow so can't go and will lose out on much needed income. It is what it is I guess

OP posts:
Toddlerteaplease · 16/01/2021 18:12

I got my email at 3am.

Gutted2day · 16/01/2021 18:27

@BillywigSting weekly tests goodness! Hope you are feeling ok

I got results today for a test on Thursday. They seem to always take 48 hours here in South west.

livvymc · 16/01/2021 19:21

I got a test at 9am on Tuesday, I had an email with the result at 11:10pm that evening!
