Got a text saying 'early hours' but what does that mean? As in after midnight? 6am? 8am?

Last year I logged on about 6.30-7am and all the slots were still available. Not very happy that I've got to get up early on a Saturday this year, DH usually gets up with the kids on a Saturday so Tesco have officially ruined my only lie in of the week!! 😡

CheeseandGherkins · 25/11/2016 14:04

Midnight usually, I'll be checking tonight.

TheRavensFeather · 25/11/2016 15:28

Thanks

Midnight for me too .

TheFairyCaravan · 25/11/2016 15:47

I'm staying up too!

Someone called me about a refund for missing sandwich pickle (why do they feel the need to phone over these things?) and he confirmed that they go live at midnight!

TheRavensFeather · 25/11/2016 20:21

Thanks Repent!

First time booking a slot! Do we need to have our basket ready or can we just book the slot? Thanks!

HungryHorace · 25/11/2016 21:10

What I do is fill my trolley and check out using the last available date. Then when the Christmas slots open I just amend the order and change the date. Bingo!

daisiesinherfootsteps · 25/11/2016 21:37

Ooh great tip thanks hungryhorace, off to do that now

IamChipmunk · 25/11/2016 21:43

Hungry I do the same! I'll be up after midnight feeding baby Dd so will check then but last year I didn't check til about 6.30am and there were plenty of slots available still.

HungryHorace · 25/11/2016 21:50

I woke at 3 last night so logged into our Sainsbury's account and moved our delivery to 23rd Dec; I was rather pleased to get it sorted! Xmas Grin

Sainsbury's delivery 8.30-9.30, haircut at 10 then collecting our Booths order at 2.30, where I can pick up anything that Sainsbury's fails to bring! Job's a good 'un.

TheFairyCaravan · 25/11/2016 23:44

I've just done my Tesco slot for the 22nd.

TheRavensFeather · 25/11/2016 23:48

I want the 23rd ideally. Only upto 22nd. Will that change after midnight?!

bloodyteenagers · 25/11/2016 23:51

I'm sure I got something saying they are only going up to the 22nd.

TheRavensFeather · 25/11/2016 23:52

So no home deliveries on 23rd or xmas eve? :/

OP posts:
Trumpton · 25/11/2016 23:58

Booked for 22nd . But will hang on a bit and see if 23rd becomes available .

TweeBee · 26/11/2016 00:00

I've done the same Trumton.
For extra fun I woke DH up and sent him downstairs for my new bank card because I couldn't remember the security code and am trying to get DS to sleep! Such fun!

TweeBee · 26/11/2016 00:04

Trumpton, sorry. My phone thinks you need a different name Smile

bloodyteenagers · 26/11/2016 00:06

Cannot even get onto the site. On a 30 second timer that keeps refreshing since my last post :(

Trumpton · 26/11/2016 00:16

Done 23rd as well . I opened 3 windows at 10 second intervals and got in after 10 mins.

TweeBee I like your style. Xmas Grin

Now to see if I can get back to sleep !

FookyNell · 26/11/2016 00:20

This is crazy! I got a Christmas Eve slot last year without being a priority early doors punter, tonight as a pre-paid I'm watching a timer refresh, WTAF?! It's groceries, not HPATCC tickets!

TweeBee · 26/11/2016 00:20

Have you booked both then Trumpton?
I'm worried about trying to change my slot and losing both. Trying to not be ridiculous but want my fruit and veg to be nice. Our greengrocer has closed this year alas.

bloodyteenagers · 26/11/2016 00:20

Got in. Odd, whilst it was refreshing got the last letter from them clearly said the 22nd.
Checked an email I had from them, after midnight 23rd and early on the 27th there will be a limited amount for Christmas Eve morning.
I always play it safe and get a slot for early on the 23rd. That way anything missing I'm not in a supermarket on the 24th.

Donteatthekidssweets · 26/11/2016 00:20

Just booked the 23rd, got the thirty second timer but in after a few minutes.
