Give blood, if you can!

  1. Lol, that’s made me chuckle. Polite for a bloodthirsty vampire.

  2. And yet when I donate bottles of piss to my doctors they send out sniffy texts about it.

  3. Unfortunately I’m unable as I smoke cannabis but I am on the stem cell donor list should it ever be needed.

    So if you can’t give blood but still wish to help, you can register with [https://www.anthonynolan.org](https://www.anthonynolan.org). Main stipulation is you have to be between 16-30 to join but you stay on the list until your 60’s.

    Edit; kindly notified that cannabis/smoking does not affect your eligibility to donate blood.

  4. We urgently need your blood for um, very legitimate purposes that definitely don’t include drinking

  5. I”m going to donate tonight for the first time ever. Hopefully I don’t faint.

  6. I am a regular blood donor but I’m pregnant so won’t be able to donate for ages. I’m getting increasingly desperate texts from Welsh Blood but they don’t have a way to let them know you can’t donate temporarily and I don’t have the heart to opt out altogether. I think they’re going to devolve into blackmail soon.

    (Also secretly miffed that my husband will way overtake me in donation numbers before I can donate again. He already smug that his blood goes to babies and now he’s done this to me).

  7. Lol Count Dracula’s mansion clearly has a corporate HR department now, he’s so polite

  8. I get those messages but they come from “Blood.co.uk”, and it won’t let me save that as a contact because it’s not a number.

  9. They’re called “annoying vampires” on my phone! I got bitten by a tick so was on the naughty list for a while and couldn’t donate, and even then rang me up constantly.

  10. I like donating but I’ve been losing my hair for a while and I want to try Minoxidil and Finasteride. But if I do, I’ll have to give up on donating. I don’t know what I should do

  11. “Please make sure to eat and drink plenty before your appointment to give blood tomorrow – but no garlic!”

  12. Echo the calls to give blood.

    If you can you should.

    Unfortunately I’m unable to. It’s possible that I’m going to need a transfusion soon. I have given blood in my younger healthier days but may be a point where I take out more than I’ve put in.

  13. Dracula but society has come to accept him, he doesn’t hurt anybody and gives plenty back to his community

  14. Thank you, I’ve just updated their contact details in my phone.

  15. I went to give blood yesterday but my bloody iron levels were too low. Stupid anaemia.

  16. My mum had a big op recently and needed a total of FIVE LITRES. I didn’t know that was even possible. She’s a tiny little thing. I doubt any of “her” blood is hers now.

    I can’t donate because I’m underweight and anaemic, so I want to thank you so much for donating. I wouldn’t have my mum any more if it weren’t for people like you.
