I've never given blood (too young), but the idea of that I could be helping save someone's life or giving someone another chance is good enough for me

Sometimes giving sperm can be painful,but they still enjoy it in the end. (Which end i aint at liberty to say) Typical Chop Its fine Katie, I have given blood and although it hurts a little (not gonna lie) the drink at the end and thinking you could be saving someones life makes it all worth while.

You'll be fine Katie, just sit there and try not to think about the needle going in, they will probably do some sort of distraction thing and chat to you as you are having the needle put in! Just think of the custard cream at the end of it and the stickers!!!

Custard Creams eh? All the more reason to do it.

I've given blood six times, and am generally down there within one week of getting the letter saying it's okay to go and give again (since you have to leave 12-16 weeks in between each session). I actually quite enjoy it; the only discomfort is the initial stab ("Sharp scratch!" "Sharp bloody scratch? You're ramming a metal spike into my arm!" ), then you just lay back, move your hand every so often to keep a decent flow, and it's done in 10 mins at the very most (I generally take 3-4 mins). Needle out, plaster on, staff make sure you feel okay, and once you're sure you're not gonna have a dizzy spell you get up and go for a free lunch The added bonus, of course, is that you're 'walking wounded' and can thus get out of doing any work for a couple of days! ;D (And the whole 'saving lives' thing, of course - did you known each donation can be used to help up to four people, since they can take just the cells, just the plasma etc? I've potentially helped save 24 people so far, for a combined total of about 5 hours of my time!
