My SIL is coming over tomorrow...

[DefinitelyNotRuth]

And I've just bought a stunt pineapple!

[FlopIsMyParentingGuru]

Ok. I'll bite..... Why?

[IamHappy1976]

But do you have a stunt washing up area?! That, surely, is the question!

[FlopIsMyParentingGuru]

Is a stunt pineapple the recipient of specialist training for dealing with non-pineapple activities.

Like hoovering up or dancing the salsa?

I NEED TO KNOW!

[Wishfulmakeupping]

I need to see how this pans out....

[CocoLoco87]

Love it! Have you got naice candles out too?

[QueenofallIsee]

ahhh yes, the stunt pineapple. Mind you, hope she doesn't want some, they are a bitch to cut

[TheEmmaDilemma]

My DP could work out why I was in fits of giggles the other week when arrived home from the shop with a stunt pineapple with no request from me.

[TheEmmaDilemma]

*couldn't.

Damn it!

[DefinitelyNotRuth]

Have also been to the farmers market and bought a casserole that I'm going to pass off as my own!
Wouldn't bother if she wasn't such a bitch but I can't wait for the 'oh I don't know how you do it with a toddler and a newborn *tinkly laugh' comment!

[diddl]

A stunt pineapple?

[HeartsTrumpDiamonds]

Can someone please fill me in on what a stunt pineapple is? Does it drive in choreographed car chases and leap off buildings onto off-camera mats and crash through fake windows?

[DudeWheresMyVulva]

I feel I need to know also. In case I have to add stunt pineapples to my day to day repertoire along with Janet and Roy and pombears.

Stunt pineapples are the new black!

[mumhum]

Stunt pineapple is from a classic thread not long ago where someone admitted to buying a pineapple to put in the fruit bowl to impress visitors. Like posh soap in the downstairs loo etc.

[Jiggl]

Stunt pineapple - up there with the Good Towels, Posh Handsoap and Staged washing up area

[DudeWheresMyVulva]

[CuriosityDoor]

Stunt pineapple - something you leave casually in your fruit bowl to look more fancy than just apples and oranges. "Oh yes, one often has pineapple with ones home made fruit salad"

[Tiggywinkler]

Well done that woman.

I only wish a stunt pineapple would sort out my SIL.

[mumhum]

I used to get posh fruit juice (rather than sainsbury's value), expensive wine, olives and interesting cheese when now DH and I were in the early days of dating....

[Sunnydawn]

Don't forget to switch the hand wash too.

[diddl]

Good grief, why bother?

Why are you trying to impress her when you think that she's a bitch?

Does a pineapple impress people?

[ratspeaker]

Oh dear, I read the opening line as stun pineapple.
I had visions of you lobbing it over from behing the safety of the sofa

[WhatchaMaCalllit]

I'm sorry but I think I need an image of what a "stunt pineapple" is.

I have images of one dressed all in black about to abseil down a building, dodging weapons being thrown at it while doing that.

[Sosidges]

Go for it.

you are going to be very welcome on my thread, "help needed with my mumsnet character Christmas guest list". A stunt pineapple is on the shopping list, and suggested by many. We will reserve a special seat at the extravaganza so that you can tell us how it went today.

[Bluntness100]

Gosh, you really don't like your sister in law yet care very much about what she thinks. Shrugs.
