I am feeling unbearably smug this afternoon as have just returned from the National Blood Transfusion Service (www.blood.co.uk) session and was warmly congratulated on reaching 75 donations!

I started when I was 18 at Uni; it was all a bit of a dare – nobody dared to say they weren’t up for it.  I’ve been going ever since: once every 6 months for years (missed a few 🙁 ) – nowadays of course, they book you in by computer once every 16 weeks!

Anyway – I’ve got my badge and am going to feel good about it all day…
