    I echo those thanks to everybody who is prompted to donate.

    In partial answer to the weight question, I have always found them to be quite strict about whatever rules there are at the time. Having said that although I have been asked my weight recently, I have never been weighed.

    There have been queries eg over donating when I have been having regular hospital appointments, but the unit wrote me a letter confirming it was okay and that got referred to a doctor at the session prior to me donating.

    You could drop into a session and ask. You never know, if enough people are healthy and willing to donate, they may change the criteria slightly.
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.
