No hot or cold at all no. She's been up all night watching TV.
Medical issues. I think you're maybe over the border but a good friend in Hackney (57, no health issues) hasn't heard anything yet either.

Now that I've looked at that link, it appears to say that everyone 56 and over is eligible, whether they've had a letter or not.Talk about timing, I have just logged on to post this: Booking now open for 56+!

Have I got that right?
Not my turn yet sadly. Have you checked the link? I think there is a little bit of confusion around the booking. editor posted a link a little while ago about over 60s now being eligible, and someone on here booked following that link, but was worried about potential queue-jumping.
But as I understand it, if you are eligible per the criteria on the website, you can book. You only have to wait for the letter if you are not yet in the age band, or not in the other criteria.
ETA:
Yes, I think so.

Thanks for posting that, but when I put in my NHS no. & DoB all I get is a page saying - 'We cannot find which coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine you should have from your vaccination record.' - well, of course not, that's why I am trying to fucking book my first one.

Just saw something on Twitter saying it was now open to people who are 56!

Tried the 119 helpline, and they can't book me, because they are getting the same message.
They think it could be because the website hasn't been fully updated yet for the over 55s, and suggested I tried again tomorrow.
Has anyone over 55 had this problem or were you able to book?

Well that was a pretty slick operation, really well drilled operation 
It was the AstraZeneca one.
My arm was sore almost immediately and continues to be, my whole arm is just shy of feeling like a dead arm, my nose started running within about 15 minutes and still is too, my wife had hers y/day and she's been fine.
andysays my wife and I are both 50, she has high blood pressure but I'm not sure if that's a reason to get a jab so early, I suffer from diverticulitis and have hemochromatosis (I start venesection on Tuesday) but I'm not sure if either are classed as underlying medical conditions. We do live in a deprived borough so maybe that plays a part.
It was the AstraZeneca one.

Similar to me - although the sore arm had largely gone after 24 hours. Slept heavily for the first couple of days too.
Right now, I'm in Happy Days Land 
Just received the Magic Vaccine Letter (
-- I'd expected a text ... but not as soon as this, anyway! 
)
10 am this coming Wednesday (10th March).
This is a working day -- I'd much rather not take it as a day off, but would it be safer to do that, just in case of side effects??
(and I'll be able to vote on this thread soon!! )

Most side effects seem to be taking 6-8 hours to start.

I, for one, am not in the least bit suspicious of all those 100% figures in the 75-79 bracket.

In My Defence I was left Unsupervised
Im 63, no medical conditions (unless you count mostly bald) Had my first one (AZ) at 11.00 this morning no symptoms so far. All very slick and organised. Straight in, asked a few simple questions like what is your name?, what is your quest? What's the airspeed of a swallow?
and the needle was unceremoniously jabbed in my arm.
There was a small army of people directing the car park and the queuing, The guy who pointed out to me where to park had one of those huge foam rubber hands you see at footie matches to point with.
One of the guys inside organising the queues was Eldest Q's FiL who has volunteered at the hospital since being forced into retirement on the grounds it was cheaper to replace him with someone younger.

Thanks for this I am married to a much younger woman (Mrs Q is 58) so I will tell her to get booked forthwith

PS to the above
After messing around with my phone for a while this afternoon (getting through on the local NHS line was an issue
), I was able to get the day and time of my appointment tweaked until the day after ... So my Jabarama Experience! will now be 8:45 am this coming Thursday, 11th March
Much better, because after the vaccination, I'll get to work a lot earlier, and Thursday will be (with my no-working-Fridays pattern), the day before four days off = a four-day recovery from side-effects
(as I'll also have another bonus Monday [15th] off at the end
)Vaccinated and part time? Beer may get drunk for some reason or other
As now ....
