Organ donation

After having a moan about my lurgy I read today another bloggers post and it made me feel a bit of a phoney. I know my lurgy will pass in a few days or a week but there are others out there that have conditions that will be with them for ever.

I have posted about donating blood before and hope that some of you have been able to do this.

Now I'm going to ask you to think seriously about organ donation. All my family are for this and we are registered with the organ donation register.

Please take the time to discuss this with your family and friends, think about the fact that we cant use our organs when we die (fact) but we could help many others live a full life and give a give a life saving legacy that money cant buy

Go and have a look at curlypops blog, she is a very talented crafter with an excellent blog who has all the info you will need to register for this.

ps i am feeling better thanks :)

just a quickie

happy Christmas to you all for yesterday!!

Just before I go to bed, I am very pleased to inform you all that the froglet successfully donated her first bag of blood on Friday. she was very brave and didn't do anything horrid like pass out :) there was another young lady who had given her blood and then had to lie down for some time as she was a horrid green colour. The froglet devoured 2 strawberry big M's and biscuits and cheese afterwards. I asked her how she was feeling and she said kinda funny.... great I thought she is going to pass out, but no she was on a high cause she had done something wonderful that will help maybe several people.

Christmas was great, I received my own tom tom as the fisherman thought I needed one rather than stealing his all the time ehehehhe. the girls got wii games, DVDs and other bits and pieces.

today I bought a wii fit.... how much fun is that?!!!! off to do some myself as the girls have finally finished!

time to give blood!!

Tomorrow is the day! the froglet is going to donate her corpuscles at 3pm... cross your fingers for her that she doesn't freak out :)

tonight we strolled over to the shops and picked up her first pair of high heels, and I mean high! 4inch stilettos... gorgeous... she is now gloating that she is taller than me.

shall post again tomorrow after the donation. wish her luck

blood donating

Not much time to blog tonight but will ask you all to go and look at curlypops blog as she talks about how important donating blood is, specially at this time of year.

Please don't put this off and say "I don't have time", make time!! I must tell you all that I am unable to donate blood due to being in the UK durning the late 80s, early 90s so they think I have mad cows disease.

I was a regular donor as I have O neg blood and I find this soooo frustrating as it was important to me to be able to do this and know that I was helping someone who needed my blood!

I am taking the froglet as she expressed to me earlier in the year that she would like to become a donor when she turned 16. So we are off to the blood bank in the coming week to do her first donation! She too is a O neg so hopefully she will be able to donate!

So don't come up with flimsy excuses, just do it!
