I am off to give blood shortly. It will be my 25th.

Will there be a celebration waiting for me?

I had major surgery a few years back and they no longer want mine now. Boo.
I only used to do it to get a lie down in the middle of the day and a cup of tea and a biscuit......

In SOuth Africa you donate every 8 weeks and get a mug and badge for 10 unit, a badge and another mug for 25 - never got to 50 before I moved here. They were a little at the number of donations I had made by age 25! 3 donations here and they gave me a 50 badge as my record showed all my South African donations!
