Partner and I had one at same time and test centre on Monday. Mine came back Tuesday. Still waiting for his. (London).

Cheekymonkey3112 · 24/12/2021 23:22

Got my results back after 37 hours. Positive 😥

DrunkenKoala · 24/12/2021 23:23

Almost 32 hrs and counting at a drive through in Kent.
Also tested at the same place last weekend and towards the end of last week, results came back between 23-28 hrs and they were a mix of positive, negative and inconclusive.

Amberfromcamber · 24/12/2021 23:46

Still nothing back after 35 hours but just taken a LFT which has turned positive now Sad

Recommend anyone waiting over 36 hours to check with 119 that the test is registered. They can’t speed up the process but they can confirm it’s in the system. We had 3 out of 4 test results back within 24 hours this week but one missing, called 119 this morning and they confirmed the test was in the system with no contact details. A minute after the call I got the result by text.

beentoldcomputersaysno · 25/12/2021 00:33

Website said wait 6 days until calling.

wingingit33 · 25/12/2021 01:38

Results in, took 39 hours, drive through SW London

LefttoherownDevizes · 25/12/2021 05:41

Now on 46 hours, negative lateral flow this morning but still achey, snotty, sore throat and sinus pain. Like literally every cokf ever had.

We're all boosted, no one in my family is especially vulnerable and the temptation to just go by the ltf is so strong, but would feel awful if it then came back positive.

Looks like there's a fair few of us in the same area too, wonder if our labs are especially swamped

IggyAce · 25/12/2021 05:47

41 hours north east, the test centre did say it’s currently taking upto 48 hours.

mumof1879 · 25/12/2021 05:52

One out of four results back at 44 hours. Threes to go now…

Yukkatree12 · 25/12/2021 05:59

East Midlands, 15 hours and positive

hiptobeasquare · 25/12/2021 06:04

My sons just came through now! Negative, thank goodness

hiptobeasquare · 25/12/2021 06:07

It was posted in a priority post box Monday morning, results have just come through now, we are in NE.

mumof1879 · 25/12/2021 06:36

And all back at 46.5 hours! One positive and three negative!

LefttoherownDevizes · 25/12/2021 07:05

Negative, 47 hours!!

So sorry for those with positives this Christmas, hope you manage to have a lovely day no matter where you go and who you are with

Moominmamma5 · 25/12/2021 07:24

46.5 hours now, at a walk in.

StroppyTop · 25/12/2021 08:32

No news at 46 hours. Have rung 119 who have logged a chasing request. Negative lft again today. No idea what to do and upset at disappointing the DC and my family but also can’t take the risk that we could potentially spread it. Really pretty fucked off.

Nomorecoco · 25/12/2021 08:41

I'm at 71 hours now for all 3 family tests.
I wouldn't be surprised if they've not registered though, the test site was a shambles, so unorganised.

Purplewithred · 25/12/2021 09:08

Woo Hoo - test at 10:00 yesterday, negative result received 06:00 this morning. So 20 hours in total and a very merry Christmas to me!

Nsws2015 · 25/12/2021 11:02

Got mine at 6am this morning, so 44 hours (Cumbria). Negative thankfully so off to in laws for lunch. Hope everyone gets their results soon and finger ms crossed for negatives,

@PaddingtonsHat

The cynic in me would say it’s a ploy to keep some of the country isolating…..
Probably too clever for the government. More likely huge volume of tests and reduced numbers of posties and technicians due to Covid.
Ohyay · 25/12/2021 22:06

Nearly 90hrs.... wonder if we can get to 100hrs...

Arcadia · 26/12/2021 09:14

Negative result arrived after about 56 hours!

somethingfromnothing · 26/12/2021 12:25
