    Not sure what type of laptop tray you got polly.
    A friend got me a real cheapie one from Ikea & it's great.
    I have it on my knee when watching TV & just lean forward to put it down on the coffee table when I need too.
    I have a wee table at the side of me for my cup.

    Sorry I missed this post. Mine is a Habitat laptop tray. I first saw it on the Argos site. They'd just reduced it from £40 to 20. When I checked they weren't doing home del to this area and click and collect was too far away.
    I looked on Ebay and it was being sold for £9.99 free del.. Youngest ordered it to hers on her acct and it arrived two days later.
    It's white and folds flat when not in use.one section can be raised to put the laptop on a slant and the other side takes a cup, notebook etc. I wouldn't risk a cup, my fingers are likely to drop it. Only drawback is it being too wide for my favourite armchair. The one you've shown would fit well and is a good price so might be an idea for winter when I sit nearer the fire.
    Thanks for your help.
    I hope whether you saw your mum or not yesterday your day was good. That bar of chocolate is huge and such a lovely message on the front. I'm a chocoholic myself so hope you enjoy it - not all in one go!
    Sunny here but still cold but hopefully we're heading in the right direction.
