Anyone in the southeast who's done a test over the last few days, how quickly did you get your results? Last few we've done have come back in 12-18 hours so this feels like it's taking ages in comparison!

Fiestyfish · 04/07/2021 15:16

Amazing thank you. It was a walk in one so hoping that's in our favour

DH tested at 14.00 last Sunday and had results in about 17 hours

SquareTo · 04/07/2021 15:25

29 hours and counting. I’m obsessively watching my phone and can’t concentrate on anything else!

bordersarebest · 04/07/2021 15:55

28 hours & counting here. Never looked at my phone so much 🙈

Shibees · 04/07/2021 16:02

28 hours and counting here too! I’m finding the waiting unbearable!

Someone who went to the same test centre as me but 4 hours earlier got their results in 27 hours!

Fiestyfish · 04/07/2021 16:06

Hahaha I'm so glad I'm not the only one obsessively checking my phone! Hopefully they all come through ASAP!

🤞🏻 you know soon

TinyTear · 04/07/2021 17:31

32 hours and counting. Last time was 18...
Hopefully will know before 48 hours as if negative sibling can go to school (testee was a child)

chocolateisavegetable · 04/07/2021 17:39

Less than 24 hours, but that was 2 weeks ago. With the number of cases rising so quickly, I can imagine it's longer now. Good luck!

LarsErickssong · 04/07/2021 17:44

Sevenoaks drive in last Monday result took 32 hours

Jaffacakeinmypocket · 04/07/2021 17:48

Son had test 9am Wednesday morning, result came 2am Thursday morning, so about 17hrs

Shibees · 04/07/2021 18:08

Results back - negative phew!!!

Took 30 hours.

SilverGlitterBaubles · 04/07/2021 18:11

Another obsessively checking my phone, it's like waiting for exam results or waiting to see what schools they've got into. Great news @Shibees

choccielover36 · 04/07/2021 18:30

Im in West Sussex, been waiting 32 hours! Slowly going mad!

SilverGlitterBaubles · 04/07/2021 18:39

@choccielover36 I suspect they are busy due to the number of school cases and the advice test if close contact and for all their families to test. Also the weekend. Still checking my phone every two minutes thoughBlush

choccielover36 · 04/07/2021 18:45

@SilverGlitterBaubles I think you are right! It was so busy at the test centre yesterday too. They said it had been like that for 2 weeks. 😩

Missmonkeypenny · 04/07/2021 19:04

Test at 2pm Tuesday, results at 9.20am Wednesday!

minipie · 04/07/2021 19:08

London, tested 10am Sat, result 7am Sun

minipie · 04/07/2021 19:08

SquareTo · 04/07/2021 20:47

After 34 hours we finally got a negative result-phew!!

Nomaj · 04/07/2021 22:55

Still waiting here in South East.

It’s now 38 hours and I could really do with knowing now.
