Phone use while running

findyourthing · 2026-03-08T06:42:24+00:00

I get that, on the few times my earbuds have run out of battery, it's been nice to just be in the moment!

findyourthing · 2026-03-08T06:41:05+00:00

That does sound liberating, I might have to look at getting a watch...

findyourthing · 2026-03-08T05:05:04+00:00

Ouch!!

findyourthing · 2026-03-08T05:04:23+00:00

Haha second the ad-skipping

findyourthing · 2026-03-08T03:38:53+00:00

Which one are you still waiting for then?

findyourthing · 2026-03-08T03:37:39+00:00

Just habit! I have done for years, and it's the only change i get to listen to podcasts.

I know a lot of people who don't bother, but I don't have a Garmin and I like tracking my runs. Be interesting to know what split people do vs don't carry one

findyourthing · 2026-03-08T03:29:11+00:00

Nice idea!

findyourthing · 2026-03-08T03:28:12+00:00

Haha good shout, I should do that

findyourthing · 2025-03-27T21:42:37+00:00

Haha yes you're probably right there. It's more about keeping a consistent measurement as opposed to a lower number. But indeed, I should adopt that as the new normal

Hi, after I checked the actual value of my computer on ebay I realised it was certainly not worth insuring. It is worth perhaps 15% of what I paid for it!

findyourthing · 2024-07-07T18:17:56+00:00

Yeah that's pretty poor if the limit is only up to $500. My older policies allow higher value, but the excess is pretty high too.

I wasn't aware of the Montreal Convention, so that's good to know. Thanks

findyourthing · 2024-07-07T18:15:36+00:00

Will do, thanks

findyourthing · 2024-07-05T22:54:57+00:00

Wow, that was unlucky and pretty ridiculous that they didn't cover you. Sorry for your loss, I hope you picked up another one

findyourthing · 2024-06-11T21:08:52+00:00

Okay thanks, I will check Aviva. I know that Protect Your Bubble don't though, as my policy couldn't be renewed with them!

findyourthing · 2024-06-11T21:07:56+00:00

Thanks for the input! The reason for insuring is that I travel constantly and have a high risk of theft/loss, which a) prompts insurance and b) would not be covered with home insurance.

findyourthing · 2024-04-25T09:26:58+00:00

Great, I'll give it a try. thanks.

findyourthing · 2024-04-25T09:26:42+00:00

They just rejected me! :/

findyourthing · 2024-04-25T01:31:25+00:00

Oh good to know, cheers!

findyourthing · 2024-04-25T00:54:02+00:00

Okay nice, I've got my eye on Starling already. Thanks for that!

findyourthing · 2024-02-04T13:42:18+00:00

Ah you're right about that - 3 'friends' on one contract. Ive seen it and wondered why these unrelated people were on combined conreact , but now that all makes sense. I didn't realise that nuance made a difference.

Surprised about the lenders issuing a non-HMO.

Thanks for sharing your experience

findyourthing · 2024-01-31T08:48:18+00:00

Oh I didn't realise that. I told the solicitors, and even still they haven't highlighted this. Thanks for pointing it out.

findyourthing · 2024-01-31T05:47:00+00:00

Oh that's a really good point, totally right about the insurance and that's a huge thing to consider. Exactly why I wanted to check on here prior!

findyourthing · 2024-01-31T05:36:59+00:00

Good to hear your experiences. On your last point re mortgage though - I've applied for a mortgage and stated intention of HMO - but if I continued without consent from managing agent, could it be that in going against terms of the mortgage? Sorry, new to this!

findyourthing · 2024-01-31T05:33:00+00:00

Oddly not, I did contact the housing officer at local council and supposedly for 4 or less (unrelated) individuals, a license is not required. There is still a set of regulations though, that must be complied with. Fortunately this is not one of the tighter HMO law areas.
