Sunday Coffee and Chat -- 28th September 2025

@Jynx yes it is a chain must only be in nsw. my mum is such a delightful snob she loves saying she got her salads from harris farm 🙂

@AlwaysMyself yes i do but that can be a nightly thing for me. if i have to go out somewhere i am generally freaking out the night before. silly really.

Any recommendations of what to watch on YT @Shaz51 ?

Or from others on any platform/media 😊

Yes me too @Bunniekins 🙂

@MissGremlin oh Dreamy have you seen the 98% sugar free liquorice brought out by the Sugerless company? ive tried it and it tastes good imho.

@Bunniekins i haven't seen it, might have to find it and try it ☺️.

I haven't tried their licorice @Bunniekins - is it sweet or salty type? Hard boiled or soft?

I have tried that brand's chocolate and a few different flavours of boiled lollies. 😊 the coffee ones and blackcurrant ones are staples in my work bag 😋.

@AlwaysMyself okay the harris farm liquorice is smooth melt in your mouth. not to sweet not too salty just right. it is worth a shot particularly the choc coated one.

but the sugarless one is good i think and being so low in sugar cant beat it imho.

What do you watch on youtube @Shaz51 ?

Sounds nice to have the air con on.

I was away and it was zero degrees most days!

Only watching YouTube videos of near misses @AlwaysMyself , @tyme

@Bunniekins , sugar free sounds good , just check on the back of the packet

@MissGremlin @Kashmina , @Jynx @Chasingsunsets

Yes it is @Jynx !

I will give you a bit of a back story (hope I dont bore you too much) and tag others in case they are suffering too

@Shaz51 @AlwaysMyself @MissGremlin @Bunniekins

I had a slipped disc over 20 years ago in my back. It healed but flares up every so often. In the last few years since I became unwell (doing better though) my back has caused me grief. I moved and it flared up (understandably so) it has remained 'techy' for this time. About 6 months ago I developed what the doctors thought as problems with my ITB band on the side where the slip disc presented. I have tried physio, stretching, exercises but it wont get better, in fact the pain is not just down the side of my leg it has gone to my foot and I now have tingling in my foot. This is nerve problems from my back. The doctors dont have a clue really. Meds is about all they recommend and physio which is not helping and expensive. There is one form of exercise I really enjoy and that is walking but the pain in my leg and foot hurts sometimes so much after a walk that I cant walk for a few days. I dont sleep well with it either. After finding a new channel recently on Youtube the girl talked about her back issues and all the things she tried but had not success with. She heard about this and gave it a go. Her back became much more manageable (she still has some back pain sometimes). I have only started the book and they talk about how we are only treated for the pain that we are experiencing at that moment and not the cause and we all know that I feel now. They talk about re-aligning the body and working on that. As mentioned, I have only just started and I am looking forward to a bit more of an insight with this topic. As we all know, anyone that has to deal with mental health naturally becomes more sedentary so it becomes even more of a challenge for our bodies to cope with especially if you have existing issues.

Just trying to find some sort of solution to this ongoing problem I have

The therapy is called the Egoscue Method. They mention you can get assistance with this professionally or do it yourself with reading online material or books. This is the book that has a direct correlation to this method 🙂
