My mum says I'm not allowed out, I was going to see if I could see a ladyfriend of mine.

Well done guys I absolutely HATE needles (actually, my fear is veins, but it's all the same) and I've managed to donate over 30 times. You just get used to it and it really doesn't hurt at all. I give platelets too, which means you're on the machine for over an hour. Sometimes I'm fine and sometimes I'm just on edge the whole time because all I can think about is "OMG, NEEDLE IN MY VEIN". Still, if it's doing somebody somewhere some good, it's all worth it

I've only ever bruised once, and it was a right whopper. Kept getting low blood pressure (always happens), so they readjusted the needle and I just went hell for leather on my little stress ball. I looked down a few mins later to see a huge bulge on my arm. Called the nurse and said "errr, that's not right is it?". And she said "Christ, no" and they removed my needle and made me press on it really hard to get it to go down. I'd been bleeding into my arm instead of the needle because I was pressing too hard Made an absolute belter of a bruise.... the day before my job interview at Rolls-Royce. Had to explain that I wasn't a junkie when I started the interview because they wouldn't stop looking at it

Am on a 12 month ban at the moment because I keep failing my iron test Should be good to go in March.... if I pass the test this time!

Anyway, you're all brave soldiers and I'm very proud of you

Yep, steak, spinach and new potatoes (helps absorption) with a glass of red wine (also helps absorption) and some dark chocolate. Worked last time I passed

I gave three or four times back at university.

I whitied every time. What's worse is it goes on your history that they pull up when you first come in. So as I get handed the clipboard I'm asked 'oh I see you were a bit faint last time.'
'Yeah.'
'And the time before that.'
'Yeah'
'And the time before that?'
'yeah '

It always take several attempts to find the vein in my arm for some reason and I have lowish blood pressure so the bag takes a blummin' age to fill.

I've been thwarted by antibiotics, exotic travel and bent noses since then and I've lost my card.

I have stupidly big veins around my elbow, usually popping out all the time too for some reason I blame guitar.

And I filled the bag really quickly but she made me lie there for the whole 10 minutes to rest so it seemed as if Tak And Jhadur finished before me

Donate 3 times a year here

There is a big bloodmobile that comes round to work every 4 months or so.

It's awesome if you got for a few beers in the evening. You can get drunk on a fiver
