We are down to our last two and haven't been able to order more online for a few days.

Any advice about where we might get some?

Thanks

I was in my local chemist this morning. In the five minutes I was waiting, three people came in and said they'd heard a rumour they had LFTs now. They did, they had a delivery this morning and apparently nearly every person that had been in since they opened at 8.30 had requested a box. Only a few packs were left by 9.15am so there's no point me divulging their secret by now Grin

Pleasantly surprised

The ones I ordered yesterday turned up today.

Online, they are released three times during the day. There is a Twitter account which alerts you.

Ordered online yesterday.

Yesterday, at local shopping centre.

The van that was distributing tests near me yesterday didn’t arrive at there location today as they had run out. I think people are so desperate to get tests they had travelled some distance yesterday.

@NearlyAlwaysInsane

There's a guy round the back of my estate when the sun goes down, he stands near his Corsa, ready for a quick getaway, the locals know they can get the good stuff from him (Flowflex, not the other stuff).
Now, you could turn that into an old style pop song

If you have a code your local boots should have some in just after opening.

Sadly with Covid numbers, omicron etc it's pot luck.

Horrible as it is, just keep trying.
I hope you manage to get a pack soon!

On the odd (5 or so, I'd say, in 3 weeks) occasions we have managed to place an online order,nothing has turned up in the post.

I've got mine online most days - need them regularly as we were all contacts with dd2's boyfriend when they were both staying over Christmas. Currently 5 adults in our house so we're getting through them at quite a rate!
