Little Nemo 20 Jun 11:36am, 20 Jun 2025 17,455 posts	Quote Pin Little Nemo It was a bit of a clusterfuck on my side in the end. Didn't allow quite enough time so had to walk too fast for the heat. Arrived very sweaty to find out it was the wrong day! Receptionist was lovely so while I was having a full on hot flush/melt down she was able to book me in. After that it was fine - mini cheddars and a donation time of 5:35. My vein was complimented again

Little Nemo 20 Jun 11:48am, 20 Jun 2025 17,456 posts	Quote Pin Little Nemo It was fine, just my intermittent problems with dates. I wonder if it's an actual disability at this point

Fizz :-) 21 Jun 7:22pm, 21 Jun 2025 9,583 posts	Quote Pin Fizz :-) Sadly, my platelets, whilst normal and healthy, are not sufficiently high enough for them to take. I might give them a quick call as I’m now on antibiotics for a tooth abscess and I’m not sure whether that’s more likely to raise or lower my count.
