Anyone else having to stay up trying to get one?

My Mum & Dad are both self-isolating as they’re in their mid-70s with underlying health conditions. The supermarkets have said they’re classed as vulnerable, but not high-risk so don’t get any priority for delivery slots, hence why I’m in an hour long online queue at half past midnight.

Feel for those in a similar boat who don’t have family nearby. Not sure what they’re expected to do?! They’ve been told not to leave the house.

Expensive but Sainsbury’s have been quick and easy.

Sainsbury’s has been even more frustrating. When I try to shop it says priority is being given to the elderly/vulnerable, but when I try to register my mum it says they haven’t been able to identify her as vulnerable, purely from her email address!
 
After an hour waiting, Morrison’s have no slots and Tesco threw up an error page. We go again tomorrow night.

Is it a totally different experience from area to area then? We used Tesco tonight, went into a queue but then all booked by 12:15. Been able to get a delivery every week. We’re Newton-le-Willows though, not Manchester. So whether that makes it easier for us I don’t know. Not sure how their site works depending on location.
