paper piles

Does anyone else have these in their house? I get a bit down sometimes when I see the paper pile getting as big as this. Im supposed to be retired...where does all this stuff - that all has to be seen to - come from!! Must make some time this weekend to try to whittle it back a bit before it takes over......I can cope with putting things to one side for a short period of time but when the pile is this high it is time for action
