Haha Tilly! I dragged my boyfriend along as well.... and my mum! They've both donated a couple of times.
I started donating while at uni when they had a session and I just popped along. In the past 3 or 4 years have donated about 4 times... but have tried 6 times and wasn't allowed the last 2 times :( i was very sad (one I had been to South America and you need to leave it 6 months between visiting South America and donating, and the next refusal was cos my iron was too low)Health Question & Answer

I would love to give blood but they wont let me give it!!
i went to donate and just before she got her needle ready she asked me to pop on the scales and confirmed that i am too under weight to donate, apparently they wont touch anyone who weights under 7 an a half stone (im very petite, not ill or starving myself)
The nurse said that if she would have taken a pint of blood from me then i would collapse by the time i got out the centre, i asked 'well cant you just take half a pint then.?' but she still wouldn't do it.
I felt really disappointed not being able to donate but at least i got loads of biscuits. LOL Health Question & Answer

Yes, whenever I can. (My blood count is borderline and sometimes I don't make the cut-off point.) I am a universal donor (O+) and also a pediatric donor. I have never been exposed to CMV so I can donate for newborns.
It's an easy way to help a lot of people. And since I have no social life, I haven't been exposed to a lot of things that would prevent me from donating. LOL.Health Question & Answer
