Southcoastpete Dec 2023 6:56pm, 21 Dec 2023 6,048 posts	Quote Pin Southcoastpete 68th pint donated on Monday. Slight hold up at the finger test, as blood didn't behave in the tubes. All cleared up when put through the machine. Got told by the assistant I'd "done loads" in the baby bag. Plenty of mince pies, crisps and club biscuits to binge on.

Pothunter the Snowman Dec 2023 8:47pm, 28 Dec 2023 8,553 posts	Quote Pin Pothunter the Snowman My annual “Thank You” to all who donate. In 2012 I received 4.5 litres of the good stuff (and who knows, possibly some Fetchie Blood!) during surgery. I know you get a message saying which hospital your blood has gone to, but don’t lose sight of the fact that it has gone to an actual person in that hospital. You are all making a world of difference and on behalf of all recipients, thank you once again 🤗
