I use a tv table I got from Dunelm Mill (if you have one near you) I've seen them in The Range too - about £8 - could prob get online! Just the right height for dining chairs! http://www.dunelm-mill.com/m/shop/furniture/tables/all-tables/?freeText=tables
What do you think of this table??

I use exactly the same table, it is small, but enough, I have most of my stuff in a case by my side, so I keep on the table only what I need at the moment. It is not heavy, fits in my mobile suitcase, it is stable - I do not trust all those aluminium furniture. Works for me just fine
Thanks so much to everyong for your input, definitely good a few fab ideas now :biggrin:
The next question is..lighting?? Does anybody take a lamp? I'm so particular and hate turning up somewhere with rubbish lighting! I have a clip on lamp I use for tanning but would love something similar! xx

I just use a desk lamp from Argos - it clips onto the side of my table. And I know this sounds a bit funny but with people I know friend's/family I use a camping headlight - works really well tho!! X http://www.argos.co.uk/m/static/Product/partNumber/4325750/Trail/searchtext>DESK+LAMP.htm

The best lamp you can get for this work is a Daylight lamp. It's portable, sturdy, gives a good clear light using a bulb which mimics natural daylight and doesn't strain your eyes no matter how much you use it. It also doesn't heat up unlike other lamps, esp desk lamps. If you have a lamp which heats up, if you do acrylics they will set too quickly and if you do gels they will run into the cuticles.
I've had my lamp about 6 years and am still on the first bulb. I think I got mine from Ellisons but have seen it at places like Hobbycraft for close work etc.

I'm with blossom.
I also use a dalight lamp with clamp, with 11W bulb. Mine is similar to this:
I cannot imagine working without strong light, I usually keep the lamp close to the hands - it does not generate heat, so I can keep it really close. I need to see every detail, without straining my eyes. And it works great for pedicures, arm is long and flexible, lamp fits in a bag nice.
