DD and DS are sick as anything not sure if they have it they don't have high temperatures. My throats a bit sore. OH is currently driving round town trying to find somewhere that has some calpol for the kids.This honestly feels like a nightmare ☹️ has anyone managed to get any?

Tell your dh to try the smaller pharmacies as well as the big ones, they haven't been cleared put as much. Good luck x

Try garages and corner shops too. It's madness.

I had this same issue yesterday it's a nightmare. If you have a body care we got some sachets from there (nightmare with an 8 month old but better than nothing) and my dad tried the same tesco 3 times in one day and got some eventually!

Ask the pharmacy for over the counter ones they normally stock pile for prescriptions filling

Try small shops such as cost cutters, spas and co op, garages

Try amazon and online pharmacies too..not ideal if you need some today but good as a back up

Yes I got mine at a petrol station. Hope you find some OP Flowers

There are groups set up all over facebook for helping, ask on a local one of them, some people are being so kind at the moment.

Try home bargains or b&m

Assistant in Aldi told me a couple of days ago that they try to keep some out the back. It's an item often targeted by thieves so they don't put it all out at once and haven't put all the stock they have on the shelves out at once due to stockpiling too.
I'd ask for a word with an Aldi supervisor.
Hope you are able to get some.

Don't just look on the shelves - ask the pharmacists and shopkeepers as they may well have some but don't want people buying it all up.

Try own brand Sainsbury- they had plenty of those the other week - it doesn't have to have the Calpol name on it to work just as effectively
