I'm O+ so dead common :rotfl:
I have always gone _pale_ at even the thought of giving blood but there was a blood donor suite in the medical place I went to today and I almost took a step towards it to find out more. It would have had to be a complete impulse thing though - if they'd said 'come back at x time on y date' I would have chickened out, but I didn't even get that far.
Can't be much more scary than having blood tests can it?
I had 3 tubes taken this morning in just a minute or so. The thing that makes me really _pale_ is the constricting sensation of the band they use on your arm - I also don't like having my blood pressure taken for the same reason. I also hate the image of needles going into veins although I obviously don't look!
Can't see me ever slipping down the road of drug addict!!

Is anyone else finding they constantly need to re-log in to post?
Am now up to nearly 6k words. Still have no conclusion written but need about another 10 (minimum) sources into my literature review. Plan to switch by 13.30 to conclusions for 30 mins then have around 40 mins of reviewing (if possible) then print and get ready to leave by 3.

Jac, glad to hear it... Good luck in your placement I am sure you will be fine
Maybe I am starnge then because I love giving blood. I dont know why, maybe because I am a bleeder and it doesn't take long but its amazing. I am Orh + if thats anything, however I cant give blood at the moment because of my VLCD :rolleyes: Well I could but 1) I could prob pass out 2) The blood would be to 'sticky' and 3) It will no doubt be rejected Hopefully once I have finished this journey I can start giving again :j 0 -

To be honest I loved giving blood - although naughty me hasn't recently...
However I have a bit of a horror story to anyone who has even a slight phobia of giving blood from my first time... so I won't say anything! :A
