Gave blood for the first time yesterday.

Booked the appointment on-line for the day after.

Turned up and filled out the questionaire then had an iron pin prick test.

A quick chat with the friendly nurse, then an isotronic drink.

10 minutes later i'm reclining having 1/2 a litre of pure alcohol taken out of my body



5 minutes later due to my fitness it was all done and dusted.

Time for the complimentary chocolate biscuits,tea and chat with another friendly nurse.

Men can donate every 12 weeks and women every 16 weeks.
