My SIL is coming over tomorrow...

[DefinitelyNotRuth]

And I've just bought a stunt pineapple!

Ha ha! I buy oranges, apples and bananas every week. I do buy other stuff too but they are our basics. Today I also bought a melon, plums and grapes as my sister is visiting tomorrow! And I'd not read the thread about the stunt pineapple until just now.

God we are pathetic!

When visiting ther people's houses I used to wonder how they could afford to have o'ccitane and molten brown handwash and hand cream in their bathrooms all the time, now I've read the stunt pineapple thread know it's all smoke and mirrors!

Nope, I'm lost. Why would anyone be impressed by a pineapple?

Love it 🙊

As we're approaching Christmas, is it too early for the assorted whole nuts in shells, the seasonally scented bleach and toilet paper, the Baylis and Harding handwash and the very naice hand towels with the sparkly decoration?

I'm going to my SILs tomorrow.

Really really hope there's a pineapple there!

I have stunt Limes & Lemons

Which regularly dry out and are quickly replaced. Only MIL has commented on them asking what I do with so many limes and lemons.

I always buy posh fruit when people come over (the last lot sat there for a week and went mouldy). I also buy fresh flowers and, oh god, put some in a little bud vase in the downstairs loo with the naice towels and a fresh, unused bar of soap.

Good job, OP. Remember to spray some furniture polish on the radiators before she comes for the "just cleaned" smell. And consider putting Zoflora in the toilet brush holders too, if you keep them by the loo. You're doing great! 😄

Yay for the stunt pineapple! Now you NEED Harvey nicks washing up liquid op!

Oh now I'm disappointed that you haven't managed your pineapple to do housework or qualify for Strictly

my bonnie
You had better not be my SIL!!
Btw, Zoflora has already been sprayed in the radiators and as if I would have a loo brush

I imagined a pineapple with a cape

I'm very disappointed at the reality

Stunt limes and lemons . Surely fake fruit you can run through the dishwasher would be far cheaper?

I meant to add I saw festive toilet roll today, £4.99 per roll. Bargain!! 😦

I have a Sainsbury's basics pineapple. I don't think it's the same though.

What is a stunt pineapple? Wouldn't you want to eat it? It's delicious 😋

Oh, and OP. Have a recipe ready for the casserole. In case she asks him for it/wants advice...

I honestly wouldn't notice or care tuppence about the contents of anybody's fruit bowl .

Unless you're planning on displaying it on the mantelpiece? It's still just a piece of fruit...

*you

Not him. Obviously

Yes, but do you have a plank of wood to pass for a chopping board? Hmmmmmm?

old don't you have chopping boards?

Yeah but has it been carved? If not you're just playing with it.

Hope you don't mind my saying but I have had a lot of wine. I just removed a Sainsburys Chosen by You caramelised onion garlic bread thing from the oven (for me, to go with MORE wine) and tipped the entire thing into the open cutlery drawer. its not worth starting a separate thread about, and as this is food related I just thought ....

I had to pick the onion out of the cutlery then shut the drawer and retreated quickly. As you were.

Christ that is DELICIOUS - if only it still had the onion on it.

Well done on the stunt pineapple. I hope she appreciates the effort
