Discoloured P**

This is one of those things that Jamie won't allow me to tell him so, inappropriate and all as it may be, I am putting it here. I'm sure others have had similar experiences and may want to share; this could even turn ito a little online support group!

For those of you with a sensitive disposition, I am giving you fair warning, turn away now!

About a week or so ago I threw together this little salad. It was one of those really hot days and it was a nice, light meal for the evening; something just a little different. Anyway about two days later during my regular morning visit to the toilet (my father refers to this room as 'The House of Horrors'; that has always amused me), something was amiss. I was startled to find a purple colour staining in the loo!!! I know, this is shocking - there wasn't that much beetroot in the salad. Ok, I did have beetroot in my sandwich for lunch the next day but I thought it took copious quantities for it to change the colour of your p**. And anyway, doesn't it change the colour of your #1's not your #2's?

I have looked this up - there are no definitive articles by healthcare professionals but it is widely known that beetroot can effect either #1's or #2's!

Jamie finds it distrubing that I noticed this at all, because he can't understand why I would look into the loo after doing anything. I have explained to him that it's a basic healthcheck thing. Apparently, he never does this; I find this worrying!
