How I did it
It made me
Star-struck. 
How I did it: My dad was friends with him years ago. Dad bumped into him at an event which we were at, and asked him if he would mind waiting a few minutes til I arrived so he could meet me and my two friends. Their mum had died a few weeks previous, they were only 14 at the time (twins) and he stopped to talk to them for ages. Really decent of him. Read how I did it…
It made me
amused. 
How I did it: I just happened to realise on the day that it was exactly 6 months between my birthdays. I went to the cinema with my friend. Not to celebrate, just cuz we'd already planned to do that anyway! Read how I did it…
It made me
brave!
How I did it: Thought about the reasons why I should donate blood and the reasons why I haven't donated before now. Thought about whether my nerves and fears about needles and other medical-related stuff could be overcome. Found a supportive friend. Got the info. Did it! Read how I did it…
