"Having to be careful walking with the portable cd player cos it would skip otherwise."

I had a really good one (also expensive) that would not skip at all unless you flipped it over and back again very fast for a few seconds. Just holding it in two hands and shaking it like you were wanking a giant wouldn't cause it to skip.

I loved that thing, but a decent mp3 player simply killed it.

But my answer to the original question is your relative calls your next door neighbour and you go round to theirs to speak because you don't have a phone at home.
