I had a text message the other day. It was from the Anthony Nolan Trust, asking me why I hadn't returned the saliva tissue-typing kit they had sent me. I emailed them to explain that the reason was, in fact, that I hadn't had it myself.

They very obligingly sent me a new one, and there you see it. I followed the instructions and sent it back.

And I'm almost ready to call this goal complete. Almost. You see, there are two things that make me think it might not be quite there.

Firstly, I'm a little dubious about the time limit. The letter asks for it to be returned 'within three days'. Is that 'put in the post by myself within three days'? If so, we're fine. If, however, it's 'make sure it arrives within three days', I don't think it's going to make it.

Secondly, I fear that I may have included a little too much spit.

Either way, I'm sure that if they're not happy with my sample, they'll send me another kit. I hope they'll send me a letter of confirmation if they are.
