Not click and collect Kimbrey, but booking a slot with Tesco. I managed to get a delivery for 22nd April yesterday. I made sure that I was on the website and logged in at 23.50. Just after midnight the site refreshed and all the slots for the 22nd were available, so I grabbed one! Apparently that's when they release them.
That's interesting, Tesco seem to have changed release of delivery slots again. Last Friday week it seems they released a load at just after 7am as a colleague managed to get one and sent me a text at 7.40am, trouble was I was still asleep, heard the text and then went back to sleep for another half hour so by the time I looked at 8.20am all the slots had gone, albeit deliveries would have been from a different store so my "local" (10 miles away) may not have had any slots available anyway. They had apparently released slots for the following week but no longer. Looks like they have returned to the normal release after midnight for 3 weeks later.
That said, being well under 70 but in an at risk category (not very high risk) and with severe mobility issues (knee op was scheduled for Wednesday but obviously got cancelled), I've just managed to get on Sainsbury's priority delivery list as of yesterday and now have one for next Saturday booked. I'd lost my access when they changed the system the beginning of last week. That said I've been lucky and had Tesco delivery last Monday booked 2 weeks earlier and have Morrisons today booked 3 weeks ago. Still have a Morrisons slot for 19 April so next Saturday's Sainsburys fits in well. Trouble is I'm spending far more than I normally do 'cos you can't guarantee what they will actually have to deliver but the last couple of deliveries I've been getting most of the order.
It won't go off and no I've not been stock piling toilet paper or handwash, the latter I should get a couple tonight which is the first I've managed to get. I shouldn't complain, but the CC bill is going to be up this month. Cat won't mind she's well in for food and litter for some weeks now.
Click and collect isn't really an option because I can't stand/walk for more than 20 minutes before both knees lock up and I'm in serious trouble. Don't have any family or friends close enough to ask to collect for me either. Also as I am working from home, have restricted time to be able to use click and collect.
