Useful equipment

I have to spend most of my time in bed, and I found a laptop table with a telescopic adjustable leg, that I can swing over my bed, then swing back when I want to sleep.

It means I don't have to have the laptop on my legs in bed. 

I bought a long handle brush and dustpan, and one of those picking things up sticks not that I use them much but they're there for when I have a bit of an energy blast. I didn't know they existed until recently.

Do you know of anything useful that make life a bit easier?

    hi Georgia, an excellent topic. Please would you p.m. me a photo of this useful laptop stand. Just the thing to take the weight off my arms when I am doing my email in bed, or the address if you got it on the web.

      I'll certainly do that if I can find a picture and what it's called. It's really robust too so I've had it for a few years and it's showing no signs of breaking, even with me swinging it around several times each day.

      To take the aches and pains from my arms I also have a hard mouse pad that's on the duvet so I don't have to lift my arm up when I use the mouse. And a microsoft separate keyboard so I don't have to life my arms to type.

      They told me that's not the kind I have that can swivel back and forth over the bed. I can't believe I can't find them now, I really hope they haven't stopped making them.

      Still, I hope the one I sent a link to will be of help. razz

    Hehe, if they have stopped making them, I’m pretty sure some other companies will be manufacturing them smile

    Thanks GeorgiaS, indeed it’s of great help.

      However, from the link you sent to me.. it's not (that) practical to have wheels like this on the bed! lol at any moment it can fall. hehe
