March 6th 2015 - New laptop tray (part 2)

March 6th 2015 - New laptop tray (part 2)

Back on 12th January I bought  a new laptop tray, however it didn't fit on my sofa as the legs fell down between the  cushions, so not much use to me, but hubby took it to use as he only has a 2seater sofa with wider cushions than my 3 seater.

A few days ago I ordered a new one for myself off ebay and it arrived today.  It is  the same as this 1 on pinterest.  It has adjustable legs that can can be locked in a variety of positions and heights.  The tray also moves height and there is a seperate mouse mat that you can attatch as well.  There is also a built in cooler which i'm not too keen on as the cold air blows right on my legs, but will be nice in summer!

Luckily for me this one fits on my sofa ok and is a good size.  The only thing I don't really like is the lip thats there to stop laptop sliding off is actually quite high and digs into my arms as I type.  There is no way to lower this, so I am thinking of finding a way to add foam or material to it to make it bit softer.

They did make this laptop tray in purple but it was over £44 and the black version which I bought was only £14!  Thats a big difference in money.

January 14th 2015 - Finished 1 book from reading list

January 14th 2015 - Finished 1 book from reading list

Today I have finished 1 book from the 2015 reading challenge.  The book was the subcategory of "Magic", it is called Dark Winter, the wicca circle by John Hennessey, and the pin is located here on my 365 board. 

Strange but good is how I would describe it, there were a few spelling mistakes but this dodn't alter the story, there was alos abit of confusing as it did flit about and repeat a few bits like character descriptions and because of this I gave a 3* rating of it in my review over on goodreads.


Also today my new laptop tray arrived (YAY!) but sadly it doesn't fit across my sofa and 1 leg falls down the gap between cushions and 1 leg doesnt even balance on sofa!  so not good.  But it's not wasted as it fits on hubby's sofa - he only has a 2 seater so the cushions are bit wider.  This does mean that I am still on the look out for a new laptop tray!

January 12th 2015 - Laptop tray

JANUARY 12TH 2015 - laptop tray

My laptop tray is 1 of those that is filled with bean bag beans, now this was ok but the seams have split and everytime I move or put it down beans come out.  I did try and glue it back together but this hasn't worked.  Also since injuring my knee 2years ago having the laptop try right on my lap seems to add to the pain of my knees.

So I decided to do a hunt for a new laptop tray - 1 that had legs and rested around my legs and not sat on them seemed a good idea.  I looked at argos for 1 first - £28! Not a chance am I paying that!  So I then looked on pinterest for ideas of how to make them, I didn't find much. BUT I did find a very nice laptop tray (today's pin) and then looked on ebay and found almost the same one for just over £10 and ordered it.  Even though it's not here I have ordered 1 and will be here by the end of the week.


The old 1 will be going in the bin and hopefully my knees will ease up abit!
