I may have to de-clutter Husband

So my decluttering has reached the point where I have a suitcase full of old photos/memorabilia to be discarded.
suitcase of memories
In fact it reached this point some days ago. All that remains is for it to be discarded. And that's where it gets tricky. Because then I pass the point of no return. No changing my mind once it's gone to the tip.

So it's quite possible that the suitcase could sit in our bedroom for days, nay months. 

But this morning I came up with a cunning plan. I called Husband in.
'You see that suitcase? I need you to take it away when I'm not looking.'
'Take it away? 
'Yes.'
'And do what with it?'
'Get rid of it.'
'Why do I have to do it when you're not looking?'
'Because I am emotionally involved with the suitcase.'
'Oh.'
'So, what you need to do is take it away when I'm not in the room, like when I go in the shower - which I'm about to do.' Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

I then left the room and went and showered. 

I came back and ... the suitcase was still there. 

I guess Husband just doesn't do subtlety.

To answer your question, What are S'mores?

Here is a link, to tell you about them, and how to make them. :-)

I would have sent this info, to your email addy, but you are a no-comment-blogger.

I THINK you have to go all-the-way.

YOU have to take it away.

HE is no dummy. HE fears that if he does it, and YOU get some sort of remorse attack, HE will be blamed.

Courage!!!!

You can do it!!!!!!

S'mores sound deliciously gooey, Luna! WE don't have graham crackers here but I've just googled and apparently some of our supermarkets do stock them.

His excuse was that there was paper for recycling in amongst the clutter.

Husband obviously has a strong sense of self preservation . This is something you'll have to do yourself .
