Can you give age group for donating blood? Afraid I am unable to donate, which is a dashed nuisance or I would.

Molly thanks a million. You have to go to the emergency entrance and ask for the blood bank. I am doing this on behalf of a friend so will inform him. My telephone number is 0533 849 3078. Please give me a call so we can thank you personally.

Thought I was too old, sorry about that. Well done MtC's other half.
Jackvern, keeping all crossed for Margaret.

Mollie done, done and dusted. Unfortunately when leaving felt blood rushing down the arm, they only put a small plaster on, no worries a gin and tonic was the answer, at home of course.

Well done MtC, surprising what restorative properties are in a G&T.

Thanks again Mollie. You are a star. A big thank you from my friend. Would like to have bought you that gin and tonic as you have taken a load of his mind. Happy new year.

In theory you should received a lot of response as O+ is the most common , certainly in the UK and Brits. I would be in the queue like a shot,, but like a lot of Brits in TRNC, I'm far too old. Get well soon Margaret.
