7 years after dropping out of my A-Levels I decided I wanted a degree. For fun though, not for any particular reason. So in 2004 I enrolled on an Open University degree. Well now the bug has bitten and my desire for knowledge has begun to take over me like a vampiritic thirst. This is the tale of my journey through the educational ranks.
I tried to give blood a few months ago, unfortunately they barred me for life because I had a blood transfusion following surgery about 11 years ago, it's something to do with an increased risk of cjd.
well done you, it's a great thing to do, but i have to say that the day i went i was very impressed with how many people were there, maybe the bad weather had something to do with the low turn-out today?
At least you went and have a valid reason for not being able to donate. The information folder they give you when you're signing in says that 96% of the population rely on the other 4% to donate blood.
Well done you. It's something I've always wanted to do but I'm just not brave enough. I 100 per cent know that I'd pass out - I've fainted before having a flu jab! In fact, just thinking about it is making me queezy! The Wimp

ReplyDeleteThat's a shocking statistic.
