Well done, just ahead of me! I've officially broken into double figures but it's actually 11 since I had a one-off absolutely years ago but then re-registered. Gave blood 7 days ago and got a text today to say that it's been delivered to the hospital where my nephew was born. Which is nice. :)
For the first time ever, my little drop of blood they took from my finger didn't drop down the vial, so I had an additional needle to get a bit more out for a fuller check. All OK. (135 mmols per wotsit of something iron-y.)

#11 done today, all very slick at St Georges Hospital and easiest the needle has gone in.
They'd run out of "My dad gave blood today" stickers so I had to opt for being a mum.
Will book my next one (DONE, exactly 12 weeks' time) so that I don't drop out of the habit again. It's good having a Monday off my usual exercise regime.
[EDIT] Checked online stuff, today was #14.
