Who'd buy a Pink TV

First I hope you all enjoyed the Bank Holiday Monday; the weather in this part of the country was very wet and windy in the morning and sunny and windy in the afternoon. So when our original plan to take a cycle ride was scuppered (we're fair weather people), I tentatively suggested to embee that he cleared out his wardrobe (closet). I wasn't really expecting a positive response but he surprised me by agreeing, apparently, he'd been thinking about doing it anyway. We spent a couple of hours sorting and turning out a lot of clothes that no longer fit as well as those that have seen better days. The end result is I now have a couple of bags of clothes to get rid of and he has nice tidy shelves (I wonder how long this will last!!).
When I was shopping this morning I happened to walk down the electrical aisle in my local supermarket and I saw this (good job I had my camera in my bag!):
I wonder if anyone buys these items. I can see the appeal to some children, and I suppose you might want to colour co-ordinate a room but it's a no no for me. On the other hand I have daughters who adore pink so it might appeal to them!! What about you???
I had just got myself home unpacked the shopping, (a job I hate) and settled down to eat lunch and read the paper when the door bell rang. It was the chap to deliver some fence panels and he was alone as his work mate has just decided to leave and go it alone. Hmm the panels needed to be stored flat at the back of the house and as I didn't want him struggling to lift or to drag them I said I would help. I must have been mad, the guy said he was worried about his back, I'm certainly worried about mine. Anyway, we did carry them across the yard (the wind was really strong so he would never have managed it alone). They are now safely stored waiting for the concrete posts to arrive. What worries me is if he cannot find anyone to help him will I end up labouring when he comes to replace the old fence. Also will I get some discount- I doubt it !! and Ohh is my back sore now does anyone know a good masseur?!!
