Green. I'm addicted to green.
Or maybe it's a fetish, or an obsession...

Whatever. About 10 years ago I suddenly realised that I love green. This explained a lot about my life, such as why I'd done my best to decorate every house and flat I've lived in with that colour.

I'd occasionally spend money I didn't have on something that I didn't need - much against my normally cautious nature - and still feel happy about it.

All these impulse buys were of goods of the green persuasion, I now know. These days if I suddenly fancy something with an almost morbid passion I look again and ask myself, if it were red or purple would I want it as much? The answer's usually 'no'.

I'm still caught out on a daily basis. I'll choose groceries in green packaging rather than any other colour and am always drawn to green-looking displays.

Most of my cars have been green. When I needed a new one a few months back, I hurriedly bought one of those dodgy street-wrecks with a cardboard 'for sale' sign in the windscreen.

Hah! I thought. Beat you, green obsession!
I was wrong. It looks deep grey from a distance, although every panel has been badly sprayed with slightly different shades of - dark green.

If Mr Quar wishes to give me a gift, he always searches out the green model, for extra kudos. He recently gave me a pale metallic green iPod Shuffle. I spend a lot of time at the gym staring in awe at its beauty.

Goes without saying that I wear green clothes as often as possible.
When the former Mr Quar was ejected from the matrimonial home a few years ago, he cruelly took away my favourite green hooded sweatshirt. That hurt more than all the years of 'unreasonable conduct'.

What can I say? I love green.

Oh my, you're me!
Also addicted to green. I love it! I dress in green as often as possible, also buy green things I don't need, am drawn to green things, and dare say if I had the pleasure of owning a flat it would be green also.

I did once own a red car, which most upset me as the green one I'd had my heart set on was too much money.

Also like you I have recently purchased a green metallic mp4 player. I can't wait 'till it gets here...

Yay for green!

It's THE colour.
I've recently been forced to hang apricot-coloured curtains, which, I tell myself, will at least nicely set off my collection of green objects.

One of my stupidest G.I.B.s (green impulse buys) is a shiny plastic car deodoriser thing in the shape of a footprint.
It used to smell of sickly bubblegum, but the scent's gone now - thank goodness - and I keep it 'cos it's bright green. It's been in at least two and possibly three of my cars.

Green. Aaahhh.

Yaaay
Green is the best colour in the world!
I'm also obsessed with making everything match in different shades of green, I have an olive green kitchen with white cupboards and green handles, and just about every accessory in there is green...
And green clothes rock as well.

I don't have a car, but I'll like anything as long as it's a dark metallic green.

Sigh. Green is great.

OK, you make me a sandwich in your green kitchen
and I'll take you for a spin in my green banger.

We can listen to Vix0r's green MP3 player.
