BarefootEm Jul 2022 10:57am, 22 Jul 2022 3,212 posts	0 BarefootEm Thank you for donating on 8-Jul. Your donation has now been issued to City Hospital, Birmingham. Every donation counts. Donation on the 8th was a dream, really fast and although my veins were hiding and I was warned it might hurt more, it didn't! Hope this is a sign of things to come!

geordiegirl Aug 2022 2:31pm, 1 Aug 2022 18,452 posts	0 geordiegirl Just had a call from NHS blood people, telling me how desperate they are for donations. So said yip book me in ... 13th October and that isn't even my local centre. How mad is that? I am willing and currently able to donate but they cant accommodate me, in October I can't as I am getting more ink done in August. I will have a look on the app and see if there is anything a bit further out that could work.

HappyG(rrr) Aug 2022 9:03am, 2 Aug 2022 43,158 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) Very different system up here. I get contacted bang on 12 weeks if I haven't already booked. Letter, email, text! I'm on the 24 hour donor list though, might be part of it. But I've pretty much always given around the 12 week time anyway, so never been called in for emergency donation. -) G
