Does anyone else use their laptop in bed for "work"
if so does anyone else get a stiff neck and get pins and needles in their fingers and get back ache.
or is it just me

It can be done. You should look into getting a lapdesk with a hard surface, preferably one that holds it at a comfortable angle for typing, as well as a pillow that gives good back and neck support.

The pins and needles in your fingers could be from lack of electrical grounding, if your AC adapter is the 2-prong kind, not the 3-prong grounded kind.

Take a break once in a while. Move around a bit to get your circulation going. I spend many hours sometimes since i work on the pc and have to "work out" just to be able to sit on the pc and go for extended times.

I think probably the most important aspect of using a laptop in bed is to make sure your back and neck posture is good. Do not sit hunched over your laptop, and always make sure you have a pillow(s) supporting your back.

Get out of bed. The problem is your poor posture and positioning. Beds are designed for lying down on, not sitting. Pins and needles are either due to cutting off the blood supply to the nerve, or compression of the nerve.
