Bind mouse movement to keypad?

I'm really lazy and I'm trying to do all my work on the computer lying down/sitting on the bed using only the keypad. This is extremely difficult when using some websites. I was wondering if there were any programmes or tricks to bind mouse movement to the keyboard (for example numpad 8 for up, numpad 4 for let, numpad 6 for right, numpad 2 for down and numpad 5 for left mouse click) Thank you in advance! (:

EDIT:
Oh, shoot. I may have misunderstood your question and thought that you wanted it the other way around (keystroke to mouse). Oh well, I'll cover it both ways, just in case.

Well, another input option would be speech recognition, but that's kinda clumsy. There are Windows input programs which can convert gamepad and mouse input to the keyboard, but I don't know if they will work with Windows 7 and on top of that, they might not do what you want. Those programs are mainly for substituting gamepad/mouse controls for single key keystrokes for games which don't support a gamepad

I use a trackball mouse with my laptop because that stupid touchpad is counter-productive.

If you're using a Mac or Linux, then I don't know.
Windows has a feature called 'Mouse Keys' which allows you to use the numpad for moving the mouse cursor. It is part of the 'Accessibility' features in Windows. Look in Control Panel. On Windows 7, click on 'Ease Of Access' and in Vista/XP, click on 'Accessibility Options.'
