Does it affect your readings if you go different times of day for blood tests???

The earlier you have bloods taken the higher the TSH and the lower the FT4 so its always best to go as early as possible. If you had your bloods taken at totally different times of the day that could explain the difference in your FT4.

What were your auto immune levels?

Yes the receptionist will be able to give you a print out, as long as the GP has seen the results. I always get my results from the receptionist.
