Veins too small to give blood

I tried to donate blood when I was 21 so almost 10 years ago however after multiple attempts from different professionals, it was deemed my veins were too small to take a donation from. I don't want to waste anyone's time by showing up to an appt and the same thing to happen 10 years on. I'm in the UK, use to live in London but moved elsewhere a few years ago. When I was 21 I was 5'4 and 108lbs, I'm now 5'4 and 113lbs so a bit heavier. The clinic I want to book in says you need to be a minimum of 50kgs so I'm thinking maybe because I was thinner this might have impacted? Tl;dr if my veins were deemed too small 10 years ago, will they still be too small?

So worried about my hubby's 2am and still not home

I dont suspect any thing affairy but im worried and spiralling. He left for dinner before 5.30pm this evening. If he went to the pub after ... it closes at 1am. One of his friends got home at 11.30pm, but I rationalise maybe he stayed out until close. However, even if he walked hed be home by now! His phone has been dead for many hours. I was going to go to be at 11ish so text to see what his eta would be. It's now 2.10am, he has to be in the office tomorrow morning, his phone is dead and im worried something wrong has happened. Im not going to call police or hospitals now as im trying to rationalise if something happened id have heard, and maybe slowly walking or got a bit lost. How can I stop spiralling, any advice? Sorry for the rant spiralling idk where to post and everyone I know is in bed

Appetite suppressed (SSRIs)

After 10 years I'm back on Zolof / Sertaline :( ive been on it for just over a month and I've lose 5lbs as I physically cannot eat as much as before. However, I'm now weighing myself daily and worried I'm going to slip back into old habits. When I was at my worst I didnt take my medication as was so scared to gain weight. I am very very scared that I'm becoming obsessed with seeing the number go down and my starting weight was already in the lower range of healthy. I know I shouldn't go back but I feel like if the medication is suppressing my appetite instead of for cing shakes and food maybe I should just see what happens. Anyone got any advice about how to stop this thinking because I know I shouldn't want to go back but at the same time I kinda miss it

Ideas for kids roles / to do

I'd love to involve my fiancé's nieces aged between 1 and 7 (there are 5 of them lol) involved in the wedding. We're not having a traditional wedding so no flower girls / page boys - my fiancé doesnt want, but he's god father of 3 of them and i'd love to find a way to include them (other than my speech as I've got that covered hehe)
