Tesco slots

Anyone else getting up at stupid o'clock tomorrow to nab their slot? Hate this bloody process every year, wish they’d come up with a better way to do it!

Sadly Tesco are the only reliable option here so I’m tied in 🙄 last year a thread on here kept me going through the early hours so I’m hoping some of you are around again tomorrow!

I managed to grab a slot last night for an evening delivery on 23/12 with Sainsburys.

Sainsbury's slots have been easy to get, actually. I got a saver slot for £1 on Christmas Eve for last minute bits. I've got a few slots scattered about as we may be moving house, so I've got deliveries booked to both addresses at the moment!

Well, where's the queue! Can't believe I'm awake earlier than I need to be! Especially as the kids were up and down all night. It's going to be a long day.

I’m wondering the same, I even checked I’ve got the date and time right.

VocalFryUp · 07/11/2023 05:41

I’m in the queue!

thelittlestbird · 07/11/2023 05:41

Queue has just started

Wengwin · 07/11/2023 05:41

I'm in a queue now

NameNumber2 · 07/11/2023 05:41

I am in the waiting room - - runs around like a headless chicken - this is almost as frantic as trying to get Taylor Swift tickets!

DancingWithYouInTheSummerRain · 07/11/2023 05:42

I'm on the landing page for the queue, let's see how long this year rakes!

ExplodingCarrots · 07/11/2023 05:42

Settling in in the queue

ifIwerenotanandroid · 07/11/2023 05:42

Yep, I've got a queue message now.

Yes, now got the queue page. What does the queue is paused mean?!

I’m in the queue too. 🙄

I absolutely hate this. It’s completely ridiculous.

wurlycurlywurly · 07/11/2023 05:43

Is it normal to say 'the queue is paused'? First year doing this!

NameNumber2 · 07/11/2023 05:45

I think so Wurly I suspect it will allocate positions in next couple of mins

PurBal · 07/11/2023 05:45

Wasn’t expecting the message, closed the app when I saw it and went back in. Blue bar noticeably longer.

Alasitsme · 07/11/2023 05:45

Anyone got an actual queue number yet, or all paused?

TheCaddieisaBaddie · 07/11/2023 05:45

Me too, it's like a Christmas tradition now, I'm after 23rd slot.

286NeuerNahhhhhhhhmen · 07/11/2023 05:45

The queue is paused 😬

for those in the queue what number are you?

VocalFryUp · 07/11/2023 05:45

Previous years I’ve been given a number in the queue...this year just queue is paused.

MadisonAvenue · 07/11/2023 05:46

I don’t remember seeing the message about it being paused in previous years.

VocalFryUp · 07/11/2023 05:46

Maybe we get a number at 6am? 🤷🏻‍♀️

MoralOrLegal · 07/11/2023 05:47

Paused here, too. Can't believe I woke up at 4 because my mind was worrying about this. Going to be a long day at work.

Alasitsme · 07/11/2023 05:47

Seems only fair that they give us a number now!

ExplodingCarrots · 07/11/2023 05:47

Maybe the blue bar thing is your position ? Then you'll get a number closer to the time . I hate this time of year Grin

KnottyKnitting · 07/11/2023 05:49

I have three devices open since 5:35 and all have the same queue is paused message - no number- blue bar not changed .
