Appointment with the vampires

Today has been one big rush around, and it's nice to have my first sit down with a cuppa.
I went to see the physio this morning and have now got some intensive stretching exercises to target my legs - 3 times a day until I go again. Boring, but very necessary, so I must be disciplined and do them. As a reward, I've been promised a deep tissue massage the next time I go!
On the way home from physio I collected a mini trampoline that I am borrowing for the next few months. From there I dashed across to meet my mother for half an hour, and then dashed back for my 'vampire appointment'.
I have been giving blood since I was 18 (other than while I was pregnant, and in the year after I'd had the children), and today I donated my 38th pint. It's quick and easy, and I like to think that my donation might actually help to save someones life.
If you don't already donate, please phone the blood donation people and make an appointment (0300 123 23 23 if you live in the UK, or look online at www.blood.co.uk).
The centre where I donate is only 3/4 mile from home, so I walked there and back just to squeeze in a little extra exercise.
Right...enough sitting down for one day...time to get some housework done
