(To those just getting in now...)

Scissorsforthedrifter · 26/04/2021 15:34

Wonder what the chances are for 1980 today 🤔

yoshiblue · 26/04/2021 15:37

Late 1980 and can't book yet...hopefully later this week

RumHoney · 26/04/2021 15:37

Still not getting through :( (mid 1978)

ProfessorPootle · 26/04/2021 15:38

My dh is Feb 79 and booked, hopefully not long

Eccle80 · 26/04/2021 15:41

@Scissorsforthedrifter I would love 1980 today but suspect if they are staggering it then it will be another day or two yet

Did you book on the national system and he's only just turned 42? If so I think your DH if the youngest so far.

Though that won’t stop me checking every couple of hours just in case,

Anothermuddywalk · 26/04/2021 15:43

Argh, you lot are just feeding my addiction, every time I think I won't try the site again today, I see someone else my age saying they've just managed to book after trying all day, and I'm forced to go and have another go.... Still no joy (mid 1978), South West ...

Scissorsforthedrifter · 26/04/2021 15:43

@Eccle80 me too 😂

Eccle80 · 26/04/2021 15:45

@MRex there was someone at the end of the last thread who was April 79, they are the youngest I have spotted

LittleRen · 26/04/2021 15:45

Husband booked in for Weds. Aug 1977.

My Sister went along with her older partner and got hers done at the same time... anyone else had success doing this? Part of me is desperate to be done (36) but part of me wants to wait and see if they change the rules for under 40s and offer choice.

Girlmama3 · 26/04/2021 15:45

South Somerset here. 43, 44 in June and booked both before the queues this morning!

The second is in a different centre then the first but not much different in distance from here.

Eccle80 · 26/04/2021 15:45

[quote Scissorsforthedrifter]@Eccle80 me too 😂[/quote]
I will be so shocked when it eventually actually lets me book!

Girlmama3 · 26/04/2021 15:46

Should have said the 1st is Saturday and the second in July

Scissorsforthedrifter · 26/04/2021 15:47

I've just remembered that when it went down to 50 my CCG delayed it somehow. Here's hoping they don't try that again this time.

Bakingboy · 26/04/2021 15:50

I'm just got in (Aug 1977), near the Cambs, Beds, Herts boundary. Not much availability with the local centres but plenty around 45 mins drive away.

Scissorsforthedrifter · 26/04/2021 15:52

@Eccle80 honestly I've been seeing the not eligible message for so long now that I'm not sure I'll know what to do with myself!

Bybbyeblackbird · 26/04/2021 15:52

Just booked in South Cambs/Essex. 42 next month. Thanks for this thread!

Mufflete · 26/04/2021 15:52

November 77 and just got through - nothing for anywhere nearby though so will keep checking til something comes up (Suffolk but nearest options are Essex)

capercaillie · 26/04/2021 15:55

Booked my appointment last Thursday thanks to this thread and had jab this morning. AstraZeneca. Most people there were 2nd jabs but guess that will change over coming days.

May 1979! New official youngest! Just as I'd taken half an hour off assuming no chance of 1980s today!
