Re: donating blood
@toffuna101 , how are you feeling now that it's 10 days to go?
I found this article which I thought might feel helpful as you prepare for your appointment - https://www.blood.co.uk/the-donation-process/preparing-to-give-blood/.
When you say that you are feeling a little bit nervous too, what would you say you're nervous about happening? We're here with you and listening!
im not sure honestly. thanks for the link.
Re: Mmhmm
@Sian321 not left my bed and I’m tired and fed up of having to mother people 
we FaceTime and it’s like “no don’t do that” “put that down” “listen to me” “don’t do anything stupid” “move it” “stop”
I’m tired of it, my boyfriend messaged me this morning because female k was trying to do something, it’s not my job to stop her
I feel so unwell today, I feel like road kill, my head feels like it’s rattling, my body hurt, I’m exhausted

Re: Are Our Phones Making Us More or Less Connected?
i feel like this a real debate i can see both sides too - so can't say for sure which side of the fence i am on.
I get the positives in that technology has enabled us to reach wider people, meeting new people and staying in touch with those we know around the world - even down to this. if it wasn't for technology i wouldn't be connected to everyone here at the mix so thats a positive.
on the flipside i see how it can take away from the connectedness - knowing we can always be a message away from someone can take away from the face-to-face interactions we have with others. whether it be through using our phones when we are sat with friends and family, seeing people less often because we can just message instead. i think sometimes phones can definitely take away from enjoying the moments we have with the people we love.
so in short - i see the good and the bad
it'll be interesting to see everyone elses opinions on the matter
