    IME they make it really difficult to give blood - I'm willing to do it but I'm not that determined. Twice I was turned away because they were too busy, twice I tried but my iron was too low to donate but not low enough for the doctors to care, then I was anemic enough to actually be ill so there was no point in trying. Next time I tried they were too busy and then they introduced a booking system. I booked an appointment but then they decided to cancel it. I figure if it's that difficult they can't be in that desperate need of donors.

    I keep getting turned away because my iron levels are too low. I normally fail the finger !!!!! test :(

    I joined the Bone Marrow register a few years back, but it seems rare to match anyone. :(

    I'm on that. My Dad got matched up when I was a teenager. He went through a number of additional tests, but they discovered he had an underactive thyroid, so he couldn't donate as he needed to get that sorted out.

    I still haven't figured out what's best to do about DS birthday next week...

    I know i'll be getting him a bigger bike, but i want to try him out on an 18 and a 20 although i'm pretty sure he'll need the 18... But he doesn't know he's getting a bike yet and i've not managed to discreetly happen to pop in Halfords with him :huh:
    So i dunno whether to just go for it and have it as a surprise, or what??

    It's on a Monday too so he'll be at school all day

    Would he accept a photo of a bike or a toy model bike, with a note attached promising he can go and pick a bike when it's convenient?

    Forgot to say earlier, Charlotte was looking in the cabinet in my parents bathroom and said to my Mam "do you not have any Mammy nappies (sanitary towels) in here?" My Mam said she was too old to need them. Then Charlotte went for a wee, wiped her bum and looked at the paper and said "ahhh no blood, I didn't need one anyway" :rotfl:
    Here I go again on my own....

    Took the kids to the fair tonight, they loved it......£30 I spent though!!!!!!!!!!!! Bloody rip-off, we only go once a year though, as the 'other' fair that comes isn't as good. Every ride was like £2pp and the bumper cars were £3 per car, dh went in with J as he wouldn't have been able to control one on his own, and L went in by himself, so that was £6 just for that!

    Where is the fair at?
    We were up in your direction today, and got a little bit lost but found a Morrisons. I never knew there was a Morrisons so close. :)

    Erins moods are bad too. She came to me Sunday with more puberty questions. She's 10 !!!!!!! Wish there was a tablet to stop it for her.

    L is an absolute hormone! Have you had 'the' chat with Erin yet?
    I haven't :o, and I don't want to because I want her to stay little and innocent, and to continue to think that daddy puts a seed into the Mummys bellybutton.

    I've got a book upstairs in preparation, I just don't want to give it to her.
