Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

When did you last give blood?

September - I was going to give again in a couple of weeks time, but it's only 2 days before the Lakeside 12k that I'm doing. So I think I'm going to have to postpone it.

I gave blood last year. I can't again until June 'cause I got a new tattoo.

I have a keyring too.

No, me neither, never done it, think it's the needle thing, had a bad blood test when I was a kid, got an air bubble in my arm, wasn't pleasant, put me off blood tests/ needles etc.

I've given 22 times and want to get up to 25 so that I get my bronze pin. Actually I've been 25 or 26 times but keep getting rejected as my iron count is too low. I haven't been for a year because I got my tummy button pierced and you have to wait for a year after that and that was just over a year ago now but I was in America last month and you can't go within 28 days of having visited the USA so I'm still waiting for the opportunity to go.
