I’m a UK-based 34JJ, and I’m having real difficulties finding workout tops or vests that DON’T have a built-in bra (which seem to be designed for people with very small chests!)
I’ve tried sizing up to an XXL but there’s still too much boob sticking out all over the place. I really need just an exercise vest that scraps the built-in bra thing altogether, because there’s no way I’m finding one that actually fits.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
I’ve had a Google Nest Mini for years, but following the Renters’ Rights Act passing in the UK, it’s spurred me on to start automating more of my home - now that I’m not at risk of eviction!
Because I rent, any automations need to be either reversible or I need my landlord’s consent to do. I don’t want to bombard the guy, so the former is my preference.
I’ve upgraded to the Google Home 2026 speaker, and I have Philips Hue lightbulbs in my ceiling. I’ve found a Bridge for my lights on Vinted, so that’ll upgrade my set-up soon. I’ve also bought a Yale Linus L2 electronic lock for my front door, because as I understand it I just need to replace the current thumbturn and the exterior will remain the same?
I also have a robot vacuum, a smart Samsung TV, and a smart extension lead in my kitchen area with basic appliances plugged in - but that’s basically as far as I’ve got.
What I’m hoping for from the community is suggestions on what else is worth doing potentially? It is a studio flat so I don’t need anything too sophisticated. I’m thinking of getting electric blinds for the one window I have, and I’m also keen to replace my current thermostat with a smart one (I have an air source heat pump which complicates things!)
A video doorbell also seems sensible, even though I live in a shared building as I often get parcels stolen from my front door.
So yeah, any suggestions on what’s worth doing to automate a rented studio flat in the UK? Happy to answer any questions or clarify anything!
I’ve just bought 6 Philips Hue Essential bulbs, having owned one in a previous flat (not the Essential range though)
My old bulb worked perfectly fine with my Google Nest Mini, but when I’ve tried to add the bulbs in the Google Home app on my iPhone, it’s saying I need a Thread Border Router?
I’m so confused because I’ve never had this before - but I appreciate it’s been some time since my old bulb setup! All I want is to add my bulbs to my Google Home so I can automate them in the morning. I know the Philips Hue app allows this to some extent, but not with voice control obviously.
Is there any solution, other than biting the bullet and buying a new Google speaker that works as a Thread router?
