Groundhog 9 Jun 5:20pm, 9 Jun 2025 7,176 posts	Quote Pin Groundhog Big queues online to book an appointment, though mine will be plasma. In related news, the Reading donor centre is moving to a new place, and temporarily out of the old Prudential building to a refurbished old office block by the river Thames. Our work office has relocated to central Reading, so in theory it is more convenient, though I currently travel by motorbike. I'm booked in for this Thursday after work, but they may not have moved yet.

Jen HB 9 Jun 9:16pm, 9 Jun 2025 3,938 posts	Quote Pin Jen HB Fingers crossed for you Fizz (just looked, if I wanted to give platelets I either need to grow about 30cm or put on about 20kg....)
