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?

Gave my donation at the Newcastle donor centre, then sent to Manchester for testing and I’ve received my email saying it has gone back to Newcastle and is with the Freeman Hospital.

Pleased it ended up there as my dad had a heart attack last May and was rushed to the Freeman, feels a bit like I’m giving something back….

My dad made a full recovery btw

Thank you @Little Nemo I’m fine other than a depressing calf strain. I’ve often been borderline, just the way things are I think.
