I cannot send you enough sympathy- last summer we had a miscarriage. I'm lucky enough to be typing whilst our new baby sleeps now, but there's not a day goes by that it doesn't hurt. If my good wishes were enough to make it happen for you, I would exhaust your blog with them xxxKellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17145699000960809495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33225158.post-45103771066344441142008-08-20T23:11:00.000+01:002008-08-20T23:11:00.000+01:00Scarborough is nice, isn't it!<BR/>An even bigger thanks to you for the message on my blog when it's a tough time for you (HUGS to you and yours).<BR/>Good for you on the writing front.<BR/>You must fit the non-blood giving thing into a novel!Pat Posnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09024751148905919332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33225158.post-64219673382825547432008-08-19T17:30:00.000+01:002008-08-19T17:30:00.000+01:00Sorry about the tuff bit... hang in there.

You're doing well!<BR/><BR/>Sorry you couldn't give blood but at least you're not a 'an intravenous drug-using hooker with malaria' ... are you?;-)Lanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08147122748453850264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33225158.post-40258717511727365512008-08-16T22:45:00.000+01:002008-08-16T22:45:00.000+01:00I had a friend who actually offered to be tested for giving blood as a way of finding out if she had VD! She didn't but not for want of trying. Miow.<BR/><BR/>Glad you're feeling good and 20% means you're well into it now and I can't wait to read it.Fionahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03669889070557241716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33225158.post-87936984122299427082008-08-16T18:28:00.000+01:002008-08-16T18:28:00.000+01:00Must have been a very difficult time for you. Hope you are feeling a bit more positive now.<BR/><BR/>I did have to walk out instead of giving blood once (in fact the only time I'd ever tried to and it's put me off going back) purely because I'd taken a ventolin inhaler less than 7 days before, so sometimes it is the most minor of things that they reject you for. Why don't they tell people about that requirement, anyway? It will just mean some people who want to donate can't.<BR/><BR/>Well done on the writing!Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12523875341438470968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33225158.post-85319064868008630542008-08-16T06:50:00.000+01:002008-08-16T06:50:00.000+01:00Aw, you're bound to be emotional right now... it's like the aftershocks of an earthquake, I imagine. These things take time.<BR/><BR/>Brilliant that you're doing so well with the writing. <BR/><BR/>Laughing at your shame of being rejected by the blood people - how utterly fabulously humiliating!SpiralSkieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08781237143187343971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33225158.post-34893357718606838062008-08-15T18:36:00.000+01:002008-08-15T18:36:00.000+01:00Glad to hear your writing is going so well and that you had such a wonderful time in Scarborough.<BR/><BR/>Sorry to hear of your minor emotional meltdown, big hugs.Debshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03223653554549707595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33225158.post-69568633811175339142008-08-15T14:47:00.000+01:002008-08-15T14:47:00.000+01:00Sounds as if you are getting there in all sorts of ways, Kate.
