    Just entered my details on the organ donation website, so that’s one New Years resolution sorted. I should have done it a long time ago.

    Now to make good on another resolution and lay off the drink a bit – my organs need to be in some sort of decent condition if they’re to be of any use!!

    Good one.

    I have a pathological fear of needles so won’t give blood but they are welcome to slice and dice me however they wish when I am dead and have carried a card since I was 18 (26 years ago).

    Always makes me smile…

    Thanks for the link Jamie, unfortunately I’m excluded as I’m over 40.

    Echo the bone marrow donation list. If you’re already a blood donor, you can get on the NHS register instead (as I am).

    Prompted to do this when a friend’s wife had leukemia and needed a transplant. She was diagnosed whilst pregnant (happy time turned into a desperate time) – luckily things worked out OK (baby and mum).

    Edit: The NHS limit is 49.

    Ahh. Didn’t know they had a cut off point. Kudos for looking in the first place.
