2 x pears (aged, no hope that anyone will eat)
1 x kiwi (starting to wrinkle)
1 x banana - perfect
3 x satsumas
1 x plum (do people even eat plums at this time of year?)
1 x cycling helmet
1 x woolly hat
1 x asthma inhaler

Thank you to DH for the latter three items.

Bananas and some old looking grapes.

LaBelleSauvage123 · 29/11/2021 18:36

Two overripe bananas, two hard green bananas and two ‘ripe and ready’ Lidl mangoes that are like bullets.

SpeckledyHen · 29/11/2021 18:37

4 russet apples and a pineapple.
Food shop tomorrow.

LoveComesQuickly · 29/11/2021 18:38

A couple each of apples, pears, satsumas. And a marble.

JaninaDuszejko · 29/11/2021 18:38

We have a small bowl with a big bunch of grapes, a large bowl with ~8 bananas that need eating (DH and I both bought bananas last week), another large bowl with ~8 satsumas and ~8 apples. DS eats several apples a day so we have more in the fridge.

TheProvincialLady · 29/11/2021 18:38

I’m sorry to say LaBelleSauvage123, those mangoes will never be ripe. They will go from rock like to putrid at some point over the next 5 days but you’ll never see it coming 😞

5 greenish bananas
5 Cox apples
3 lemons
Stunt pineapple ( a bit past eating, might spray it gold for Christmas)
3 bulbs of garlic (where else would it live?)

Supplemented by berries in fridge

JaninaDuszejko · 29/11/2021 18:39

And we have raspberries in the fridge as well.

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 29/11/2021 18:39

An old phone, a corkscrew, a camera, a purse, a takeaway menu, gardening gloves and some handcream.

Tgeres a variety of fruit in the fridge though.

Santaischeckinglists · 29/11/2021 18:39

3 bananas. 1 banana in the hallway awaiting it's new calling as a snowman's nose as we are out of carrots...

Shopping day tomorrow..

Squirrelblanket · 29/11/2021 18:39

Two ripe bananas, two clementines, three braeburn apples and an elderly lemon.

RockinHorseShit · 29/11/2021 18:39

I & a pen, a pencil & 3 pins Confused

Youreastar · 29/11/2021 18:40

Bananas, 2 apples, 2 oranges and 4 pomegranates yum

Scarby9 · 29/11/2021 18:41

1 × slightly dried up satsuma
1 x Bramley apple from next door's tree
1 × orange waiting to be made into Covent Garden Sweet potato and orange soup
1 × avocado which has gone instantly from hard and underripe to squishy and overripe.

Not my best ever fruit bowl.

LubaLuca · 29/11/2021 18:41

1 speckly banana
2 tangerines
3 apples

Very uninspiring.

TheProvincialLady · 29/11/2021 18:41

@Lottieskeeper doesn’t the garlic contaminate the fruit?

JuergenWasRobbed · 29/11/2021 18:42

Couple of boxes of lateral flows.

Justleaveitblankthen · 29/11/2021 18:43

4 large pears, 2 nets of Clementines, 1 net of lemons, 6 Granny Smith's & 6 Bramley's. I keep my green(ish) bananas in my fridge salad drawer ( yes, really! Grin ) They ripen very slowly and at usefully different times, so they never go off.

NellieBertram · 29/11/2021 18:45

Pears and apples (good)
A couple of sad deflated satsumas
Almost ripe bananas and totally green bananas
2 old but seemingly fine kiwis in the fridge, along with raspberries & blueberries

AmyDudley · 29/11/2021 18:45

3 big oranges
1 grapefruit
1 net of satsumas
6 pink lady apples
7 other apples unknown variety (lady was selling them outside her house)
A potato (not sure how that got there but I've been looking for it (its a big baking one) so thank you Grin

YanTanTetheraPetheraPimp · 29/11/2021 18:45

Satsumas and blueberries in the fridge.
6 pears, 4 lemons and a dozen apples in one fruit bowl
A bowl of green grapes, another bowl with 8 plums and 6 bananas.
That’ll keep the two of us supplied for a week.

Coronado2 · 29/11/2021 18:48

Do you all honestly have fruit bowls?
