  • 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.)

  • While that's never been a problem for me it has been for my partner in the past. We try and have something meaty the night before we donate, just as a boost to the system. A decent (egg oriented) breakfast helps too!
