Having a quick tidy up in the kitchen last night I saw that Jo at some
point
must have bought one of the "lap tray" things (basically a bit of
board with
a wide flat beanbag attached to the underside) during one of her QVC /
Lakeland moments and - typically - it has been bought and shoved to one
side
never to be used again so I decided to give it a whirl.

So with the bed head stacked up with some nice comfy pillows, a freezer ice
pack for my feet and the beanbag tray I started into my "get some work
email
done before going to sleep" routine...

...much comfier than the usual "Surfin' Superman" pose I have to
say and no
laptop induced warmth either. Might need a bigger "tray" as the
laptop is
pretty sizeable (I've got an Inspiron 8000 on loan from a friend at the
moment) but certainly worth a try Rob. Now I just need to find somewhere
for
one of those big back-rest cushions as raiding the spare bed for an extra
stack of pillows just isn't on. (Jesus I think I just aged thirty years -
I'll be looking at Saga holidays and comfortable zip-up slippers next!)
