I found my Blood Transfusion 'wallet' yesterday, it having
fallen down the back of a drawer at some point.

I started in 1984 but gave up round about the millenium when
the daily commute became too arduous to allow much spare time
in the evenings.

Inside it is a plastic gold card like a credit card with my
name embossed, in addition to all the applied stickers at every
donation, but I can't remember how I came by this bit of plastic.

Also curious to know the colour of the name label inside the
front cover, which would have been typed or printed back
in 1984 and manually stuck on. Is the colour significant ?


I'm a retired[1] blood donor. I've just rummaged through my records. I
started in 1980 with a blue book but when I reached 25 donations they
gave me a silver book instead. It looks as if my 25th donation was
around about the time they switched from the books to the credit-card
style plastic because I only have the one entry in that book for
January 1996. I carried on using the silver card until they replaced
it with a gold card on my 50th donation.

Does that help?

Just curious to know what the colour of the name label is inside the
cover of the blue booklet, and if this is significant ?

Someone told me Yellow means something.
