When are we all logging in?
I’m ordering food to order from Durham which covers a massive area so slots always go quick.

I have done the Tesco online list so I can just slam the food to order through then plan to do the rest later.

I plan to login at 5amish on laptop.

I’m ready to go ! Last year couldn’t go via the App so got the site open, it will probs crash !

emdashh · 04/11/2025 05:40

I'm logged in as normal with nothing different. Normally I'm placed in a queue. What's happening with you all?

TolpuddleFarter · 04/11/2025 05:42

I'm on the app and seeing nothing

MarryMeTomHardy · 04/11/2025 05:42

Morning, mine has not opened the queue yet!

Same. I think the queue will open at 5.45

TolpuddleFarter · 04/11/2025 05:43

Mine is now saying there is an error on their side and to come back later

emdashh · 04/11/2025 05:43

Now my phone app has crashed. Still logged in normally on my laptop.

This reminds me of buying concert tickets when I was younger 🤦🏽‍♀️

Ah okay. I've done this every year for a long time, you'd think I'd remember. I wish I could just leave it but have such FOMO.

Me too and I never remember either. I thought it would open at 5.30. I was placed in a queue around 5.43.

emdashh · 04/11/2025 05:46

Right, coffee time! And may as well fire up the work laptop while I'm here 🥱

PinkElephants356 · 04/11/2025 05:48

Mine says I’m in a queue but also that the queue is paused, I don’t know what that means?

Im also not on a plan so does that mean I can even book a slot today?

spoonbillstretford · 04/11/2025 05:49

I know it does, OP. Don't tell all of Mumsnet, bloody hell, we won't be able to logon.

Roseshavethorns · 04/11/2025 05:49

I'm in the queue now. It says it is paused and will be opening shortly.

TolpuddleFarter · 04/11/2025 05:27

Morning - just waiting to book my slot now.

I am a first timer (usually actually just go into the shop) so I have a question - if I get a delivery planned for Xmas eve (or eve eve) if I want things like pigs in blankets etc, what are the chances they will get subbed?

I can honestly say I’ve never had any issues.

spoonbillstretford · 04/11/2025 05:52

Why do they say they open at six but start the queue before six? 🤦‍♀️

Yes if you’re not on the plan, you won’t be able to do it today,

I don't think you'll be able to book when the slots open if you're not on a plan. The queue stays paused until 6am then you find out where you are in the queue and have to wait til it's your turn. Nail biting stuff!

I had a look at their Christmas food offerings the other day after salivating over M&Ss right before. I don't recommend it. I don't want anything from Tesco now.

I am here too. What date is everyone going for? I am working 20th/21st/23rd and 24th 8am - 8.30pm so need the 22nd as it is my only day off and do not want to trawl around the bloody supermarket. I have not had any problem with getting a slot in 3 years now. Good luck!

Agree with PP that there isn't usually a problem BUT you should always prepare to make a mad dash to the shops just in case. I have to send my husband every Christmas Eve for something I’ve forgotten as opposed to something subbed.

I always go for 23rd, then we have time to go to a shop in case there’s anything missing. I don’t think we’ve ever had a substitution or anything missing on an Xmas shop though so 🤞

spoonbillstretford · 04/11/2025 05:58

I won't be ordering the meat from them or festive pre-made stuff apart from PIB, sticking to Waitrose after an expensive but terrible turkey from Sainsbury's two years ago. I make my own pudding. Jusr a regular food shop with Christmas dinner veg and some other festive extras.

Would you start queuing for a concert at the time it started? 😉

spoonbillstretford · 04/11/2025 05:59

I tend to go for 23rd as I make the stuffing, veggie main course and cranberry sauce on 24th.

It's not a concert! 🤪

I’m in the queue, need the 23rd
