Shredding the excess

Needed to get some of those papers shredded today.

Always seem to get a pile of old documents, statements, letters and the like that I need to shred but I usually end up just putting them to one side and saying 'I'll shred those later' and do I? - No!

So now I have a huge pile of papers that need to be shredded before I can dispose of them in the safe knowledge that my personal information remains confidential.

Of course there is always the possibility that I may have inadvertently shredded something I meant to keep. Anyone got some clear sticky tape?
