Hi there,
you can buy a laptop cooler - which the laptop stands on ,, the best ones have fans built into them which work from the USB port. Cost between �15-�30. See the following links:

i made 4 rubber stands from loads of ordinary pencil rubbers glued together, to about 1 inch, which allows the air to circulate better that those 2mm ones that are attached to it!

Oh my God - what a great idea!
Thankyou so much, will do that till I can find one of those cooling pads I was told about.
