The next available one for me turns out to be 30th Dec. None of Mrs Q's Christmas cake for me that morning, unless they like their blood with added rum & brandy!

I've been told I'm not allowed anymore!!!! Got Poe's X-Wing yesterday on Amazon! Next purchase is going to be the Razor Crest, just waiting for it to be reduced.

Something nice I did find out a couple of donations ago. The nurse said to me "ooh you've got super blood, that's good". Understandably curious, I asked her a) what she meant and b) whether I had superpowers. Turns out my blood is free of a particular virus (sorry Covid fans, not that one) that's critical for neonatal care. So my blood goes to newborns. Which is nice Mine is the same, it's Cytomegalovirus (CMV). I'm also O- which means mine can be given to anybody irrespective of their blood type.

You’ll pay a lot for a brand new boxed set but there’s plenty of second hand sets available. https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=10220-1&name=Volkswagen T1 Camper Van (VW Bus)&category=[Sculptures]#T=S&O={"iconly":0} 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

incident Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 3 hours ago, Losing my hair said: Today's good news is that I had a text informing me that my last blood donation has been issued to St Bernards Hospital, Gibraltar. Being a blood donor is easy and is a great way to help others. They're always looking for new donors, so if you're interested take a look here - https://www.blood.co.uk/ On a semi related note - last time I went to book an appointment I did notice that outside of permanent donor centres (in my case, at the nearby leisure centre), they're now only putting them on the site 2-4 months ahead of time, and so far seem to have relatively few sessions scheduled past early December compared to usual. Previously you could book over 6 months in advance without problem. Not sure if that's just some weird local thing or if the same is happening nationally, and I could be reading way too much into it but I did wonder if they've got half an eye on the Staff and/or equipment being used in some form of vaccine rollout. Worth mentioning that they are taking lots of precautions and it does feel very safe. Safer than most shops to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
