I did for years and then last year they bought a new rule out that if you have had a blood transfusion since 1987 you could give anymore due to BSE. Had one when i had my daughter in 88 after a c section so can't give any more Jan

Used to when I was in England. They won't let me here in the USA because of the fact that I've lived in the UK and they're scared to death of the risk of CJD. Congratulations on donating so much!

I have an unusual red cert issued to blood donars in 1953 for the Cornation Year. I had to stop giving blood when I developed a medical condition. Bridget x

Feeling chuffed today. I've given 25 pints (not all at once lol), and now i've been given a silver award. I've got A-Neg (I'm not asking for anybody's). Does anyone donate blood?
