idiotfacelicker · 30/11/2021 12:15

Although texts and emails don't always arrive at the same time. Which are you using to measure..?

PineappleWilson · 30/11/2021 12:18

I had one at 9am yesterday. Results came through in the early hours , so I'll say 3am.

benelephant · 30/11/2021 12:19

I had one at 11am yesterday. No results as yet... I'm saying 9am Thursday

Northernlurker · 30/11/2021 12:51

Text was 3hrs behind email when we had DS1 tested on Sunday. Email came at 3am after testing at 11:30am (small pop up site in local town, not sure when they get to the lab).
Rest of us tested 6pm yesterday, main testing site at large town, no results yet.

RagzReturnsRebooted · 30/11/2021 12:54

Sorry, so my guess is tomorrow afternoon.

Winterlove · 30/11/2021 12:56

I actually came on to ask the same thing!

I’ll say 1am.

Northernlurker · 30/11/2021 12:57

Oooh ok well ill go on which ever comes first 😄

Good job there's not a cash prize at stake or you would all sue

Thanks for playing along with me Grin

We've got this far in to the pandemic without needing a pcr so all new!

Well I'm still waiting for results of an 'at home' PCR test that was posted in a priority box last Wednesday...

TheRedHen2 · 30/11/2021 13:01

9am.

Both my son and I have them in the last week and both took 24 ish hours

Hoptoit1 · 30/11/2021 13:25

I'll say 5am (as everyone we've had has come through at roughly that time).
Also waiting on dc test results (swabed at 11am today) - hoping there back in time for school tomorrow although dc isn't.

yellowstoneranch · 30/11/2021 13:46

As 1am is taken, I'll go for 2am please

Assume prize is the standard packet of cheesy quavers 😂

Cacee3029 · 30/11/2021 13:49

0000ish only because Dd has had 3 tests since September - all negative. Each time she was tested it was around 9-10am in the morning. Each result has come through by email at 00.06 on the dot... text took several more hours to come through (6-7am) but email results always at 00.06am! I'm in the southwest.

mejon · 30/11/2021 13:50

3 of us took PCRs yesterday at 10am. Email results came through just after 1am. Text results at 6.30am.

I'll go for 5am as DD1's positive test came back just after 5am yesterday (test at 2pm Sunday)

freddiethegreat · 30/11/2021 14:08

I tested at 10am yesterday, results (email & text within seconds of each other) at 8am. In your case, I’ll go for 6am.

Bananarice · 30/11/2021 14:11

I will guess 00:00 as the time ds2 (negative) results came through.

WhatisanODP · 30/11/2021 14:16

I’ll have 0600 😂

Ahhhhhbisto · 30/11/2021 14:25

4am for email!

Ahhhhhbisto · 30/11/2021 14:26

Hope your DD is ok Thanks

DeathMetalMum · 30/11/2021 14:29

21.00

Would have gone for 3.00 if not taken as that is when we have had most of ours. On Sunday dd and I had a test at 11am and had the results 9.15 that night!

Northernlurker · 30/11/2021 15:11

Yes she's ok thanks for asking @Ahhhhhbisto
