to let my dog shit wherever it wants and to expect people to look where they are walking?

Also if you are able please go and give blood.

Also if you are able please go and give blood.

oh you
I would if i could but im not heavy enough and I had blood transfusions before the cut off date MY husband and daughter gives blood so they give an extra drop for me

Oh i have a donor card though

I'm a regular donor. I couldn't give last time the van was in my area as I wasn't (in the area) and I had a foul cold. But shall be there for the next session.

Also on the organ donor register and the bone marrow one. Can't donate plasma as I have dreadful veins.

Perhaps they could have a promiscuity test?

They could make you swing a sanitised cat round the waiting roo
in a circle,if it scratches more than one than three people that you've slept with in the last 3 months you probably shouldn't donate. Then they can use the recent cat scratches as a subtle way to decline the others you have slept with.

Fecking phone.

Oh fuck I've killed it.

Killed your phone? Or the thread?

Am a regular donor - 3 times a year

The thread.

Although I really should kill my phone.

Good kick up the backside for me. I used to donate but somehow dropped off their radar. I will put it in my diary to sign up once we've moved area in December.

I'm going on Friday [preens].

I'm a regular, 3x per year.

I don't think I can spare it; the beeper goes off constantly whilst I am donating as it comes out so slowly and I have failed the copper sulphate test numerous times. But I still go!

My colleague has liver cancer and has just received 3 units. It has made her feel really well again.

And I always pick up my dog's shit.

I can't at the moment as giving birth has left me anaemic. However I donated my cord blood and will be back to the bank as soon as I have decent supplies of hg again.

I gave blood one when I was 17. It all went fine until I fainted a couple of minutes later and woke up with A nurse holding my legs in the air. I never heard from them again! No idea why but it's made me very anxious about trying again because i feel like I was more hassle than help! I keep meaning to on a lunch break but I'm a bit nervous as to why they never bothered contacting me.

greenplastictrees I wouldn't worry about it. When I've been to donate, the nurses told me they have to keep a quick flow of donors through the day to make it worth their while so if you are a fainter who needs looking after or someone whose blood comes out very slowly, they don't really want you back.

You've done your bit, you fainted, you did your best.

I've never done it and don't know much about it. Please point me in the right direction and I promise I'll sign up

Woo hoo! Babies 6 months on the dot today. Need to ring as they sent dh a letter so they're in the area.

that's what prompted me to go - a letter to dh letting him know they were in the area. Donated in the donating bus in the Asda carpark!! Was a bit afraid of fainting but was fine and had my apple and blackcurrant squash and a biscuit afterwards. Drove home not long after that too.

Thanks for the push. I've never donated (not sure if I can?) but have signed up and I'm just waiting for them to respond. Does anybody know how long you have to wait after being tattooed to give blood? Also I was anaemic during pregnancy, Ds is now 18 months and I've never been tested since. Will they check everything is in order before allowing me to donate?

I'm a fainter Tried twice, fainted both times and the second time the lovely nurse told me gently but quite clearly that I was more trouble than my blood was worth (she didn't quite put it like that but that was the gist).

I am on the organ donor register though, and I've donated my body to medical science if they want it when I pop off (and assuming I don't die in a way that makes organ harvesting possible).

I really really value people who give blood, cos I need it.

My neuro condition can be treated (well, managed) by 2 mehthods, both of which require blood products. I get IV Immunoglobulin every 4 weeks. Every treatment contains the immune system cells of up to 50 people!

I go in to hospital every month in a wheelchair. 2 days later I walk out.

I love you all!

Thanks all.

I feel my three times a year nagging is worth it if I can prompt even one perdon to consider it.

And Weegie - that is why I do it. A small little thing I can do to make someones life just a little bit easier.

Sorry. Shocking spelling amd grammar. Been up all night.

Would love to, used to, now they don't want it :(
