June Photo Challange

Hiya

Thought I'd try something different in June and after reading Sprinkle Of Glitter's blog I was highly inspired to take part in her June photo challenge.

Giving blood

Hi hi hi

So I went to donate blood 2 weeks ago for the first time and what an experience that was! 

I'd booked an appointment so I arrived at 7 for my apportionment at 7:15. All the nurses were lovely and made sure I drank tonnes of water before I donated to stop myself fainting or feeling ill when I donated. 

And in usual British fashion nothing was running on time!

I was the last one to be called through, and that wasn't until 8 so I wasn't bet pleased by this point! I was taken through by a nurse who talked me through the health form I'd already filled in asking about lifestyle and risks, so things like if I was planning on doing any extreme sports after my donation and my travel history. She asked if I had any questions which was really reassuring, especially since I was slightly nervous with it being my first donation! She then checked my iron levels by doing a quick fingerprick which didn't hurt at all, until after she put the plaster on and I could feel my heartbeat in my finger. I was then showed where to sit and had to wait for another nurse to find me. 

When she finally did find me I was taken to another chair where they tried to find a vein for me to donate through. (Bearing in mind that last time I had blood taken the nurse pretty much through the needle at me from the other side of the room with no problem.) So I had to swap arms. The nurse finally got my vein and my donation started. They collected samples for tests first, so for HIV, Hepatitis and blood grouping. I was told to keep moving my hand to get the blood to flow easier and to reduce bruising, but by this point I was already expecting a bruise just by how forceful the nurse had been with the cannula, and how once shed put it in she then proceeded to drop the donation bag which was attached to by arm through the needle!!She then decided that my veins were too thin to donate in a decent amount of time, as the cannula was knocking on either side of my vein causing my donation to be realllllly slow! The nurses then decided that it was best to stop my donation half way through because it was so slow! But they gave me this delightful arm wear and sent me on my way! 

Two weeks later I then received my donation card and blood group! Turns out I have the most common blood group in the UK.

I honestly believe that donating blood and in the future my organs is one of the nicest things I could do for another person. Yeah okay it's needles and my body being cut up but in the end it is my body and my choice, I think that once you're gone that's it, you don't need your organs or your body so why not give them to someone who needs them an awful lot more that I would in death?

Its my thought that why should I not donate my blood and organs? At the end of the day I'd accept a donation from someone else if I needed it, so it's only fair to offer that chance of hope and life to someone else!

That was all very serious, but I wanted to share this with people. 

Side note; yes it did take me 2 weeks to write this post but I've been super super busy with exams and work and things so yeah:-) 

Oh and don't hesitate to leave questions and comments or tweet me or send me questions on tumblr :-)

Afternoon

HEY

So from Monday its back to the daily chore that is Sixth form, yipee. But with the added work of a million tonnes of revision ready for exams, double yipee. So on that front I'm realllllly not looking forward to the next few months!

So this is how the rest of my April looks, Fun Fun Fun.

PLUS, when I go back to college on Monday I'm going to start back to my healthy eating/diet/get fit for summer routine, which should be fun... (I'll probably blog about that because, well lets face it there's nothing else in my life to blog about)

But for now I've got the weekend to rest up and get ready for it all to start! which is hard to do completely considering I'm at work. 

Speaking of work; My work colleagues usually call me Hannah or Han but one of my closest friends, who I also happen to work with, has let everyone else in on that little secret of my nickname Ham, so now I'm also known as Ham at work...which is always good. Including my new till sign in name being Ham!

Hannah, no one cares. 

Yep, bye :-)

P.s. I feel a massive idiot writing random shit about my life because I doubt anyone even cares, but I want to blog about things that happen as a reminder and to just be able to get things out of my head. okay. Plus I'm sick of always talking to myself about things.

First time blogger coming through

Hey, Hola, Bonjour, Howdy, How're you:-)?

Sooo then...
I doubtt anyone's going to actually read this but thought I'd give blogging a little go!

Basically in a nutshell I'm Hannah, but all my little shits of friends call me Ham. I actually have no idea why but they do. I'm 17 and pretty much live my life on the Internet and obsess over McFly and YouTubers. Standard 17 year old really. Nothing special. 

That's about it...Ill see how long this blogging thing last for!
