Off to see Dracula at the surgery for some blood tests this morning. Nothing major hopefully - probably anaemic.

But I do feel that I need a permanent tap in one of my veins. I'm amazed I don't leak blood every time someone touches me:D
 
Good luck Susan, Ive seen the vampires this morning too.
 
Hope you have a good vampire !The two nurses at the GP surgery are great and hardly leave a pinprick The only time that I had to have a blood test at a health centre I came home with a huge bruise even though my usual vampires say that I have veins like motor ways !

Good luck. I had mine done last week and still have a huge bruise. In her defence I do have really hard to get veins, but she was jabbing and poking away like an amateur darts player.

Despite being fine all the injections the blood thing makes me feel so ill!
