"I always wear pink. Everything's pink.
"It's just my favourite colour.

“All the houses around here are a bit samey and I was determined that ours would stand out.
“I bought a dark shade of pink masonry paint from B&Q and slapped it on the walls.
“It came out much brighter and colourful than I’d even hoped for. It’s a good job the neighbours are good friends.

"Jason did get a bit of stick at work at first but they are used to it now. He wears pink as well sometimes.
"I am having some hanging baskets made and I have specified that they need to be big and pink.
"It does get a lot of smiles.

"They used to knock to ask first but I don't mind.
"If it makes them happy then I am happy with that.
"The front room is pink. I have unicorn pink kitchen and a pink garden, bedroom and caravan.”
Jason said: “I think it’s great. I don’t mind living in a pink Barbie universe. If it makes Sally happy then I’m happy.
“I sometimes get odd looks when I drive her car into town but I think it’s funny.”
