Fine then!
It doesnt say on the website, but I was turned away for being underweight (& anaemic) - I'm pretty sure if you weight less that 7st 12lbs you can't donate. Or at least they don't like you to anyway. Some places don't check. :yeees:
I did notice it said you should not donate if you've EVER had drugs, even once.
From the looks of some of the boards a lot of members shouldn't be able to donate
Well I probably can't then. But I really should, I just looked at that site and looks like they don't have much of my blood type - the rarest :eek2:
So its there fault i dont give blood!
I gave blood in the autumn and am waiting for them to tell me they want me again. Glad I did it, and as if the busciuts and orange werent enough I got a "Billy Blood Drop" (or something...) bean toy aswell!
go to the site, theres a link on the first page,
have a nosey, u'll see all the requirements (please all note, the reason I can't donate isn't because I do drugs, I haven't ever taken drugs)
i cant give blood i hate needles. and i dunno what blood type i am, i really should find out what type i am.
Dont know me blood type either.
Feels good to know I'm not the only unwanted one here.
don't want mine neither.
being on medication is bad, apparently.....
which is a bit of a shame cause i really wouldn't mind them taking my blood.... needles don't bother me at all.
