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?

I've been on iron tablets, bran flakes, spinach for the last 10 days due to a recent fail on iron.

Went to give blood last night, drop went straight to the bottom!

Oh dear, finger test fail for me last night. Only a little out but first time in quite a while.
Felt a bit hacked off and didn’t even stay for tea and Club biscuits....:(

I'm always angry and ungracious when that happens. And I refuse the leaflet. Know how you feel.

Today. Toasty. They had hired in air con units. New thing: no longer taking forms at door. You get to keep them to finger stabbing. New stock phrase: Been busy today?

I took the leaflet LindsD, but felt slightly patronised by the nurse giving it to me.

Unlike some years ago when the assistant said "oh what it doesn't mention is chocolate and red wine are good for iron" :)

Just logged on to make an appointment and there's nothing until 3 October. I wanted to do it before Ealing Half on 29 Sept. I'm banned until 13 Sept. Grr. Don't know what to do. Will have to leave it a good few weeks after the half just to be safe.

I'm sure I booked one a month in advance last time.

Linds, if you did it before you'll probably struggle round the half so I'd go after if I were you.
That reminds me, I must book to go just before C*******s.
