In the pink: Mother obsessed with the colour decks out her entire house, right down to the bleach

It may not be everyone's cup of tea but for Wanda Matthews shocking pink is not so much a colour but a life choice.
The mother-of-two has made her council house in Bolton, Greater Manchester, into a candy-coloured shrine to the hue, right down to only buying pink cleaning products.
Over three years, she has converted the three-bedroom home into a vision in pink with everything from carpet, wallpaper and furniture in the colour.
Miss Matthews, 20, wears something pink every day, keeps fit by working out with rose-pink weights, listens to a pink iPod and has a pink mobile phone.

Her wardrobe is crammed with an array of pink clothes, shoes and accessories while the kitchen has a baby pink kettle, toaster, pots, pans and ironing board. 
Daughters Keira, two, and Keelie, three, are also roped into the theme - dressed up in pink clothes and given pink toys to play with.
Next up is a hot pink renovation for the bathroom, a repainting of the garden fence and an attempt to decorate her oven in heat-proof pink paint. 
Miss Matthews said: 'Some people may think that it's a bit much, but I don't care. My friends and family know me surrounded by pink, so they're used to it.
'I just never get sick of the colour and neither do my little girls. I don't know what I'd do if I had a boy though.
'I don't think I have anything other people would find unusual, but people normally react by saying "wow, that's a lot of pink".'

Even toiletries and bleach have to fit in with the colour theme, with beauty products including perfume, sun-tan lotion and deodorant all picked for their colour.
The mother said: 'I buy pink cleaning products as well over others, like pink bleach and that, so maybe that's strange to other people.' 
Her daughters have proved to be the perfect excuse to fuel her obsession and now have a pink-themed playroom with pink furry fairy lights and a pink chandelier.
Her penchant for the colour is unsurprisingly now shared by her boyfriend but she says he has long accepted it as part of their lives. 
'It's a proper fetish. While some people don't understand, I never get sick of all this pink. Danny knows I love it and doesn't criticize,' Miss Matthews said.
