Giving Blood

[DarrenSV650S]

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?

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.

La la la la.....
