Trying to get a test - any advice!?

Advised by 111 to get a test - nothing available on line. Are there best times to try?

I kept refreshing the busy page, then as if by magic options started appearing. Rejected the first couple as they were literally miles away, then it offered me a slot that was 4 miles away and there were lots of time slots! It is possible, just took a lot of patience.

Thanks, I have resigned myself to the fact I am probably here at my PC for the evening!!

Got a test, thanks @321pastamaker.

First got one 60 miles away, kept refreshing then a town 20 miles away, and then in our town. They don't tell you to keep refreshing. So odd it didn't offer the closest one first, but hey ho...

@Theforest glad that you had similar success - what a system!! Fingers crossed for a negative result!... That arrives in a timely manner!!

Well we got a (negative) result at 5:25 today for the test I booked at 10am yesterday which DS took at 12pm.

A good news story all round in the end!
