CrazyLegs Jan 2009 1:58pm, 15 Jan 2009 1,170 posts	0 CrazyLegs I am O pos and my invite letter had the following comment... 'We've seen group O positive stocks fall sharply to just 4-5 days. This is below our minimum operating level. We're now asking registered O pos donors to please make every effort to find any convenient session' I wonder what the minimum operating levels are??
Old Croc Jan 2009 1:59pm, 15 Jan 2009 838 posts	0 Old Croc I'm O neg and when overseas was one of only TWO suitable donors - we were the supply!!!
HappyG(rrr) Jan 2009 2:00pm, 15 Jan 2009 3,243 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) Only a few days worth of stocks - it's really quite scary. They operate very close to the wire, don't they. Imagine if you were a business and you only had 4-5 days worth of cash in the bank, at any given time. You'd be wound up. So give, give, give. Well done KR2

clairevmc Jan 2009 2:14pm, 15 Jan 2009 233 posts	0 clairevmc I've just been onto the Scottish website at the top of the thread and there is a session a few miles from me next Monday evening so I'm going to go along to that. Monday is exactly a month since I was in America so that should be fine as I think their limit is you can't donate within 28 days of returning so I'm fine. That will be pint no. 21 for me (assuming my iron count is OK).
