I’ve been giving blood for a few years now and today was the day, had the form come through last week, even had the card from last time to make an appointment.  Luckily Mel came in to meet Cath to take her up to the centre as I’d forgotten all about it!

Mel and Cath went off for their properly arranged appointments and came back in mid afternoon, having had their drink and a biscuit - but they did admit they’d both almost fainted!  Cath slid elegantly off her chair and was arranged neatly where she fell for a couple of minutes, Mel was having a good laugh at Cath’s expense (much as I am doing now) when she suddenly felt a bit wobbly and decided to have a lie down.  When I went later on for the evening session the lady looking after me remembered them both!

I managed to be seen without an appointment and reasonably quickly - the worst thing at the moment is not being able to use my middle finger for typing with.  I made it back to the hotel in 1 piece and am now thinking about a trip through to the restaurant to make sure they’re all ok.  I did bring back a sticker for Cath as she couldn’t get one earlier - bet they hid them while she was lying on the floor.
