Wacky Sally Owen has brightened up her life by colouring all her possessions - including her house, car and even pots and pans - bright PINK.
The 48-year-old's modest village home is now a tourist hotspot after having the garish makeover.
She loves the colour so much, every one of her belongings is pink, including her car, caravan, hair, and even her cups and saucers.
Her obsession even extends to her meals, with her favourite food being prawn cocktail washed down with rose wine.
The mum-of-one, nicknamed "Pinky", is a well known figure in her home village of Linton, Derbys.
Her partner, bus driver Jason Dodds, 51, has embraced her love of everything pink and even gave her a brightly coloured Mazda MX5 at Christmas.
Sally, who runs a pet auction, said: "You've got to put a bit of colour in your life and mine is just pink.
"I always wear pink. Everything's pink.
"It's just my favourite colour.
"I've got a vintage caravan that's pink, it's all pink inside.
"There's nothing wrong with it.

"We had been living in our house for five years when one day I thought it needed a change to brighten it up.
“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.
"I just love the colour, I have always liked it. I thought why not? My partner doesn't mind.
"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.
"The house brightens the area up a bit and I don't think there is a problem.
"It does get a lot of reaction, especially from children, and people park across the road so they can have their photo take with it – I never expected my obsession to turn my house into a tourist spot.
"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.”

Shocking footage shows brainless driver stopping on motorway while young boy has a wee
Image by: Video Contributor 8
Police are hunting a brainless BMW driver who was caught on dashcam stopping on a busy motorway – to let his child out for a WEE.
The motorist parked with his hazard lights flashing on the southbound carriageway of the M1 just yards away from an exit for a services.
Dashcam shows a little boy in a white shirt and grey trousers crouching down to relief himself before getting back into the silver car.
The shocked driver captured the motorist’s insane actions last Friday (29/3) at 5pm during busy rush-hour traffic near Northampton.
The driver, who did not want to be named but posted the footage online, said: "I was heading home from work at around 5pm on the M1.
"I was in lane one which is the turn off for junction 16.
"There was a lorry in front of me but then it moved into the second lane.
"I could see that there was a car in front but the sun was low so I couldn't see his hazard lights which were on.
"I had to stop in a live lane of the motorway behind this mindless idiot.
"I saw a young a lad, about six or seven crouching down and having a wee on the carriageway.
"It was crazy, I've never seen anything like that before.
"I was pressing my horn to tell him to get out of the way.
"What I saw was beyond belief and it could have easily resulted in a serious injury or
even death.
"I was afraid the cars behind me wouldn't be able to stop in time.
"I was fearful of someone going into the back of my car, which would have sent me into his.
"Maybe the driver thought it was a hard shoulder but it's clear from the signs above it wasn't and there were loads of cars driving along it.
"After the kid was done he just got back into the car and they drove off.
"I pulled up next to him and told him off but all I got in return was two fingers, which was charming.
"He didn't even recognize that he had done wrong.
"I was there for less than a minute but that's all it takes for to have been an accident.
"I just want to put this out there so it shows people just how dangerous it.
"We were literally 30 seconds from the next exit, which is what makes this all more ridiculous.
"There was no excuse for him to stop there. can be to stop on the motorway without good reason."
Northamptonshire Police are investigating and have appealed for the BMW driver to come forward.

Hilarious moment a three-year-old girl gave her baby brother a TOWIE-style makeover with cosmetics - to 'look just like you mummy'

A three-year-old gave her baby brother this hilarious TOWIE-style makeover with cosmetics - to 'look just like you mummy'.
Mum Catherine Carr, 24, thought she'd grab a quiet moment to sort some washing and left daughter Tiffany downstairs watching TV with snoozing sibling Frankie.
But Tiffany then decided to use her mum's make-up to paint her bro's face - leaving him a deep brown colour.
The younger used a brush to cover him with bronzer, gave him red lips with lipstick and drew on eyebrows with eyebrow pencil.
Her mother came down to find Frankie fully made-up - and was even more gutted when Tiffany explained she wanted him 'to look like you mummy'.
Catherine, of Harrogate, Yorkshire, said: “I left him fast asleep and she was sat quietly watching her tablet.
“It was all so nicely peaceful until Tiff shouted 'mummy come downstairs – I made Frankie look like you'.
“She'd basically piled as much as bronzer onto his face as possible and covered him in highlighter cream.

“She'd also put my lipstick on him and done quite a good job drawing on his eyebrows with my eyebrow pencil.
“She seemed to think he looked exactly like me – I couldn't see it to be honest.”
But far from getting a telling-off, Tiffany's make-up job had her mum in stitches.
“I was mortified, but I couldn't tell her off – it was just too funny,” Catherine explained.
“Some would have told her off, but she's always doing hilarious things like this, she's a little legend.”
And she said Frankie seemed perfectly happy with his makeover as well.
She said: “He loved his new look. He was fast asleep when I left him but I came downstairs and he was sat on the floor smiling his head off.
“He looked like a doll, she'd put that much make-up on him.”
Catherine shared snaps of Frankie and his sister on a Facebook parenting group, with thousands of mums and dads liking it in just hours.
She wrote: “I don't know what's worse, the fact she she thinks I look like that or the fact that she's done his eyebrows quite good.”

A woman describes horrific story after her hand was bitten off by rescue dog

A woman yesterday told how she had her hand bitten off by a huge rescue dog which savaged her in attack which 'seemed to last for hours.'
Sue Scarlett, 64, was savaged by the 90kg - 14 stone - cross-bred beast while cleaning its kennel and looked down to the ground see her 'right hand on the floor.'
The care home nurse was set up by the dog last October when the animal locked its teeth around her right arm.
Despite two people trying to get the dog off her hand, the male dog gripped on to her wrist with his teeth and wouldn't let go.
The grandmother, who described the dog having a grey and black brindle coat with paws the size of her hand, said: "I shouted to him to let go but he just held on tighter.
"After what seemed like hours my husband heard me and tried to pull the dog away but was unable to do so.
"I remember thinking that I would have a few broken bones when he finished.
"But at that time I looked down and saw my right hand lying on the concrete in a pool of blood."
The kennels which had a run outside where caged - the dogs slept in the kennels and were able to have water in the run before running outside into a surrounding field to play.
As Sue let the dog out of the kennels to go into the field to clean the room and change the water in the run.
But the dog put his head partially into the run of out of the kennel and grabbed her right arm.
Sue, who is a nurse at Ashlynn Grange care home, in Peterborough, Cambs., shouted at the dog to let go but he continued to "gnaw" at her arm.
She said she had to go on her knees to push the kennel gate against him because she "knew that if he got into the kennel he would kill" her.
Sue screamed for her husband, who was also helping to look after the other dogs, to call for an ambulance and police as her friend tried to get the dog off her arm.
After a couple of minutes, the dog eventually let go in which they were able to isolate him back into the kennel.
She added: "As I looked up I saw him looking at me and there was blood all round his mouth.
"As a nurse I knew that I was in big trouble so told my husband that he needed to put a tourniquet - compressing device - above the wound, which he did using his jacket.
"My friend and my husband held my arm in the air to try and prevent more blood loss and continued to do so until a paramedic took over."
The East Anglian Air Ambulance arrived at the scene a long with two doctors, a paramedic and police.
Sue said: "I don't remember much else about the journey or going into the hospital or the emergency surgery which was needed to save my life.
"But what I know is that without a shadow of a doubt is that without the swift action and interventions of the East Anglian Air Ambulance crew I would not be here today.
"I might have lost part of my arm but I am alive and will always be grateful to the crew".
The dog was put down after the attack.
Since the attack Sue as thanked East Anglian Air Ambulance service after their life saving efforts.
An East Anglian Air Ambulance spokesperson said: "The Anglia Two team of Doctor Pam Chrispin, Doctor Antonia Hazlerigg, CCP Mark Milsom and Pilots Rosh Jaypalan and Martin Polding were tasked at 12:24 and arrived on scene in Wisbech at 12:46.
"The clinical team provided IV Access and haemorrhage control, dressing and splintage to Sue’s arm.
"They administered pain relief and antibiotics at scene before packaging Sue and flying her to Addenbrooke’s Hospital, arriving at 13:39."
Sue is now volunteering to help raise funds "that are needed to keep these heroes and horoines in the air" for East Anglian Air Ambulance, which is not government funded.
She will be taking part in the Big Leeap, the tandem skydiving event in May.
Sue was forced to give up for the last six months while recovering from her injuries.
Couple order corn on the cob in the Midlands - and get a bread roll filled with sweetcorn
Image by: Paige Hart
A couple who ordered a corn on the cob from their local takeaway were baffled to be served - a bread roll filled with sweetcorn.
Paige Hart, 24, and boyfriend William Maddock, 32, popped into a local takeaway in the Midlands, where a bread roll is known commonly known as a 'cob'.
They placed a £14 order - including a £3.50 dish of corn on the cob - before returning home to their flat in Carlton, Nottingham.
But when Page got home she discovered she'd been given sweetcorn on a bread roll.
Paige said: “Me and William wanted something to eat before we got home and couldn’t be bothered to cook.
“It’s a bit like Nando’s so we ordered our chicken.
“I turned to William and said I fancied I corn on the cob so I asked the guy behind the counter if he did it.
“At first he looked at me a bit weird and said ‘of course darling’ and bagged it up.
“We were just gobsmacked.
“We were both in stitches as he took it so literally.
“What some people call baps we call cobs so he took it literally."
Last year a YouGov study revealed how more than 50 per cent of people in Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire use the word 'cob' for a bread roll.
“The thing is it didn’t even have butter on," said Paige. “And I still was really craving a corn on the cob.
“It’s not nice without butter. We didn’t eat it in the end. We took a few pics and put it in the bin.”

WATCH: Teen who lost both hands as a child completes entire makeup routine - using a BIONIC ARM
Video by: Sarah Lockey
This incredible video shows a teen who lost both hands to meningitis as a baby completing her makeup routine - using a BIONIC ARM.
Tilly Lockey, 13, can put on her eyeliner, use makeup brushes and blenders effortlessly without any assistance.
The inspirational girl has devoted her time over the years to raising awareness of the complications that can follow meningitis.
She needed 10 blood transfusions and lost both of her hands after contracting meningococcal septicaemia at just 15 months old.
Tilly was given a 0% chance survival by doctors but defied all of the odds to survive the deadly disease.
She has previously been given bionic arms with basic functions and also trialled several others.
But at Christmas 2018, Tilly was given her first set of comic book inspired 'hero arms' by Bristol-based technology company Openbionics.
The high-tech limbs can function as normal hands and were tailor-made for Tilly on a 3D printer.
The bionic arms are the first medically approved prosthesis of their kind in Britain and allow for precise and delicate movements that other prosthetic hands cannot do.
Tilly uses the arm to paint, play games and to give a 'thumbs-up' to her friends but she has also started to use them to put on her own makeup.
She has followed makeup blogs and now posts tutorials and videos online.
Her mum Sarah Lockey, 39, who works for the charity Meningitis Now which supported her daughter, said: "She finds the arm so useful.
"Tilly posted a video doing her makeup on her Twitter last year and everybody seemed to love it.
"She mainly started to put makeup on when she became a teenager so the arm has been such a huge help."
Tilly lost both of her hands and the tips of her toes when she contracted meningococcal septicaemia.
Aged just three-years-old, Tilly got a pair of 'myolectric arms' which only had basic functions of control.
For years after the surgery, Sarah desperately tried ways to get her the best prosthetics, fundraising and researching.
However, in 2016, Tilly was the first child in the world to be given trial 'bionic arms' by Bristol-based technology company Openbionics.

The new 'hero arms' - given to Tilly in 2018 - use sensors within the casing to respond to movements by Tilly and are designed to have all of the same functions as a usual pair of arms.
It means Tilly can now interact with her friends and family - including her father Adam Lockey, 38, and sisters Tia, 15, Lucyanna, 11, and Hermione, seven - in the same way as any other teenager.
Her mum Sarah, from Consett, County Durham said: "She can do everything with the arms.
"When she was diagnosed with meningitis as a 15-month-old I was told she had no chance of survival.
"To see how far she has come is incredible, I am so proud of her.
"She can use the arm just like anyone would use their hands.
"She now realises how much she can actually do with her 'hero arm' and she uses it for everything in everyday life.
"Tilly has become a triallist for the company now so she gets sent different designs and is used to test them for other children.
"She has tested around eight different designs since 2016 and they can then be altered and developed to be better for people in the same position."
Tilly has had incredible experiences throughout her life including meeting the Dalai Lama.
She has also appeared on hit ITV show 'This time next year..' where she showed the amazing difference being given her bionic arms had on her life.
Last week, Tilly even headed to London to model her hero arm at the premiere of Alita: Battle Angel in the West End - complete with a custom arm to become the character.
Sarah added: "She has achieved so much already in her life.
"We just want to keep raising the awareness of everything she went through and how much these arms can help children.
"I am so proud."

The 'hero arms' cost approximately £10,000 per arm to purchase, although Tilly has been given multiple different sets to trial due to her role as an ambassador for the company.
Tilly said she loves the simple things about the arms - including being able to hold two items at once.
She said: "I really love how I can now hold two things at once.
"It sounds really simple and it is probably what a lot of people take for granted but to me, to be able to hold a book in one hand and a pen in another while I’m studying is great.
"I also love how cool they look, they’re lots of fun and I’m proud to wear them.”

This is the moment Floyd Mayweather Sr. sparred in his eponymous boxing club - and got floored.
Mayweather, 66, got into an impromptu sparring match with former boxer and boxing coach Ross Thompson, 45, at Mayweather Boxing Club, in Las Vegas.
But Floyd Mayweather Jr's dad did not emerge victorious on Monday Feb 4, 2019 and - ended up on the deck.
“They were having a bit of a trash talk outside of the ring,” said an onlooker, who filmed the video but did not wish to be named.
“Ross told Floyd Senior that his brother Roger Mayweather was a better trainer than him, so Floyd Senior got mad at that and so he threw a few shots about Ross’s career,” claimed the onlooker.
“Then Floyd told Ross that he wouldn’t be able to touch him, because he’s too big… like 'you won’t be able to touch me, I hope I don’t hurt you’ then they got in the ring and went for it,” he said.
“It was really macho, it was great.
“They dodged each other in the ring for a bit, next thing you know Ross put a combination together and Floyd goes down, that’s a sequence of punches, almost like when you’re dancing and you have a sequence of steps, they were pretty fast and it got Floyd Senior laid out on the ground.
“He wasn’t quite unconscious, he was just went down hard, I’d say he was lying dazed on the floor for about 30 seconds after he hit the ground.
“Then he got up, we were all laughing and talking cra*p…they wound up shaking hands in the end.”
Ross Thompson, who threw the winning punch said: “We were getting into it at the club, we have a history, he likes to trash talk at me.
"He likes to trash talk, he's just like his son."

Farm becomes the first place in Britain to offer yoga classes - in a field full of ALPACAS
Image by: Matthew Newby SWNS
A farm has become the first place in Britain to offer yoga classes - in a field full of ALPACAS.
Rosebud Alpacas is located on a remote smallholding among rolling countryside and has been hailed as the perfect location for calming exercise.
But to add to the experience owners Nick and Lucy Aylett have decided to run their yoga classes in the same field where they keep their alpacas.
And they say their alpaca yoga classes in South Molton, Devon, are a "unique experience" which are "great for mind, body and soul".
Nick said: "They live outside and the chickens are protected by the alpaca herd who are quick to alert all around to any unwelcome visitors.
“We want our land to be an inviting place for others to come and enjoy.
"It is our home and is a very special place that we would really love other people to enjoy too.
"It's a place where people can come to escape, take time out from technology and busy lives, a chance to spend time connecting with the land, the animals and each other.
"Our dream is for this place also to be a sanctuary for people to come and feel at home as well.”
The pair say all their animals are "raised ethically with freedom of choice, their welfare being paramount".
Each session is led by qualified instructor Sian Bartlett and light refreshments are provided after each class.
In addition to the alpaca yoga, they also offer alpaca walking, alpaca picnics, alpaca art sessions and a special "alpaca connection" package.
The alpaca connection session is where guests are guided in meditations and have the opportunity to "walk amongst the herd in mindful observation".

Lucy Aylett, 46, runs the alpaca yoga with her partner, Nick Stringer, 55, a former landscape gardener.
Lucy, who used to run a pet supply store, said: "We wanted to move to Devon and change careers, so we bought the alpacas and got some land.
"The alpacas have a very calming presence very much like horses. Being around them we felt very stress-free.
"We started working with them because we breed them and we found that time just flew when you were around them and we wanted to share that with people.
"People go away feeling calm, it's just an experience being around the alpacas.
"They're not lively animals, they're not jumping all over you like goat yoga. That tried to be a thing, but people got fed up with the goats jumping on them all the time.
"You don't get that with alpacas.
"They're very relaxed so it just adds to the feeling of relaxation.
"In our location, there isn't much going on, if you're meditating you don't ear all the traffic, it's all very peaceful and the alpacas add to that.
"We started doing the yoga classes last spring, it just came to me one day. It's difficult to describe.
"I tried some yoga myself, it seemed very peaceful.
"I don't like to force the animals into it, I want to do it in the field so the animals can join the people if they want to but they don't have to.
"It feels more authentic that way."

STREET AND TWO VEG

Meet the woman who has gained almost 50,000 social media followers by creating penis-shaped routes whilst out - JOGGING.
Claire Pisano, also known as 'Dick_Run_Claire' on Instagram, has daily runs almost exclusively shaped like a penis.
The 33-year-old mum has become an Instagram sensation by mapping out penises with her running app and sharing them online.
Claire, from New Jersey, USA, took up running as a hobby aged 28 and mapped out her first 'dick run' by accident in November 2015.
It happened when she went out for a jog whilst visiting a relative in Kansas, in November 2015, and went took a wrong turn.
Image by: Claire Pisano
She posted her creation online and the Instagram page Dick_Run_Claire was born.
Now Claire has 48,000 followers on Instagram through sharing her penis runs of all shapes and sizes - and has kick started a rude running trend.
Searching for #dickrun on Instagram reveals how thousands of people are getting in on the act to map out a willy on their workout.
Claire, a corporate sector worker, said: " I encourage anyone and everyone to try a dickrun or two.
"Someone once sent me their map of a dickswim, that was pretty impressive actually. I can’t swim in a straight line, let alone draw something.
"The first dick run was a total accident at first. My brother had moved and I was visiting him. I went for a run and took a wrong turn.
"When I got back, I realised what I had accidentally drawn. From what I hear, most dickrunners start out this way. Obviously my friends thought it was funny so I kept it up."

Claire has taken part in two marathons, a dozen half marathons since taking up running and is already training for her third marathon in autumn this year.
If training for a marathon isn't hard enough, Claire's running routine includes the added challenge of trying to map out a penis.
It has seen her draw penises small and large on the streets across America.
Three-and-a-half years after #dickrun was born, Claire says it can be tricky to make each drawing different from the one before.
She said: "I got into running because it was 'me time.- although I always love running with friends.There’s nothing like a run to clear your mind and help you reset.
"The dickruns are funny but there are some super talented people doing #stravaart - really impressive and detailed drawings.
"It depends on the setting. I like the challenge in more rural areas, because you don’t have a lot of roads to work with, so I love finding a random 'road dick'.
"Sometimes they’re super obvious, and I am pretty sure there’s a league of town planners and transportation engineers who are all in on some inside joke making road dicks in their towns."
Whilst some dickruns come naturally, Claire says he spends hours online mapping out new runs.
Claire said:: "I do spend an inordinate amount of time mapping out dickruns.
"I travel for work and for fun, so I map them out anywhere I travel, I have so many mapped that I haven’t run yet."

PRISONER OF AZKABAN
Image by: Matthew Newby SWNS
A couple have been found guilty of keeping a housemate as a slave - forcing him to live in a cupboard under the stairs "like Harry Potter".
Gabriel Nicolae was made to carry out forced labour and his captors controlled his finances and stopped him from eating or drinking in the house.
He was made to eat highly spiced food and ordered to dance and carry out physical challenges.
Mr Nicolae worked full time at an abattoir earning £300 to £350 a week - but he was given just enough money to buy his bus tickets and around £1 a day for biscuits.
Gabriel was even made to drink out of an outside hosepipe and use woodland when he needed the toilet and had eggs and flour thrown at him.
The victim had been using the cupboard under the stairs as a bedroom like "the boy wizard Harry Potter", a court was told.
Neighbours called police after seeing Gabriel washing in the garden in a basin fashioned from a pile of rocks.

Ion Boboc, 26 and Christiana Tudor-Dobre, 24, were convicted of requiring a person to perform forced or compulsory labour and fraud.
Mihai-Aurel Dan, who was also standing trial, was cleared of both charges. All three are from the St Anne's Park area of Bristol.
Prosecutor Charles Thomas said police visited the trio's address on July 27 2018, after a concerned neighbour called the Modern Slavery Hotline.
Mr Thomas said: “Police were surprised when Gabriel Nicolae emerged from the cupboard under the stairs. He looked dishevelled.”
Important documents such as his ID card, bank card, financial papers, and multiple phone contracts were in a bedroom used by Boboc and Tudor-Dobre.
The jury also heard that the victim was filmed carrying out tasks set by the defendants.
Mr Nicolae eventually revealed that he would have to wash his clothes in the town centre and was not allowed to eat or wash inside the house, with no use of the kitchen.
Ben Samples of the CPS said: “I would like to commend the victim for the incredible strength and bravery he showed in giving evidence and supporting the prosecution, despite the degrading treatment he suffered at the hands of the defendants.
“I would also like to thank the members of the public who contacted the police with their concerns. Modern slavery often takes place out of sight, and it is only with the support of such witnesses that we will defeat it in the UK.
“Finally, I would like to give credit to Avon and Somerset Police, who acted swiftly following the report and built a strong case against the defendants, working in partnership with the CPS South West Complex Case Unit.”
Officer in the case PC Roger Ibrahim said: “Without the information through the Modern Slavery Hotline this abuse would still be happening.
''When we found this man he appeared underfed and was suffering from sores on his feet. No one should be treated in this way.''
The duo will be sentenced for their crimes on March 19.
