Giving Blood
 
If this doesn't guilt trip you into giving blood nothing will

I give blood, probably more on an ad hoc basis than anything and i have to say they are a bit pushy, bombarding you with letters etc.

Having said that i gave some blood at uni a while ago and i ate the whole pack of biscuits. I think i know who came out ahead! :)

Also they sometimes won't let me donate and sometimes they will....*******s.

I have never and will never give blood............................................. .................................................. .................................................. ......................... Purely down to the fact that I have a heart defect and am not allowed to as it would cause me serious problems. I do however agree with it in principal.

I do, but only on condition it doesn't go to Scotland as they get enough freebies there as it is.

Don't they have their own separate blood service like Wales does?

:lol: Genius!

I hate giving blood, but I still do it because I totally agree with the principle. I even went for blood platelet donating test the other other day as apparently I have a high count. However, I passed out after the blood test, fell off the chair and smacked my head on the radiator on the way down, so they wouldn't let me donate :( That is the sort of reaction I always have with anything blood and needle related!

I don't particularly like needles either. I just look away and focus on other stuff. If i pretend its not hapening it isn't.
