Tricia's column - Resolution Revolution T he start of the year always seems to be the time we're told to reinvent ourselves. New Year, New You, all that sort of thing. Well what if I like me as I am ? What if I quite enjoy my bad habits ? What if I like eating junk food and not doing any exercise ? Maybe the "old me" read a bit about the potential "New me" and thought she sounded a bit boring. My suggestion to all of my readers who find themselves being badgered by a lifestyle guru to make some changes is to tell them to mind their own business! Having over half a dozen grandchildren (and being a great aunt to another four) you won't be surprised to hear that Christmas can be a bit hectic for me. It can be quite tiring to be on the receiving end of a fifteen minute lecture on the merits of a Star Wars space ship made from 734 plastic bricks. Over the years I've become an expert at feigning fascination. Wine always helps. The girls are a bit more fun, especially the smallest ones as you can put ridiculous amounts of make up on them when their mother's not looking and the kids absolutely love every minute! The parents aren't always best pleased, but I just Singing sensation and X Factor favourite Joe McElderry will once again wear the world’s most famous coat in the UK’s longest running musical on stage at the White Rock Theatre, Hastings from the 14th to the 18th of February. Joe’s title-role debut in the 2016 production of Joseph was his first major theatrical appearance, and his performance was met with 5 star reviews and standing ovations up and down the country. Star of the show Joe was just 18 when he won the sixth series of ‘The X Factor’ having been mentored by Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole and beating off fierce competition from Olly Murs and Stacey Solomon. Having garnered sensational reviews and standing ovations at every performance since its inception over 36 years ago, Bill Kenwright’s ‘amazing’, ‘superb’, ‘wonderful’ and ‘brilliant’ production has now sold an estimated 20 million tickets. This vibrant and exciting retelling of the biblical story about Joseph, and the coat of many colours sings out to young and old alike with a score crammed wall to wall with hits, including Jacob and Sons, Close Every Door and Any Dream Will Do. For your chance to WIN a family ticket (4 people) to see Joseph, just answer the following question: How old was Joe McElderry when he won the X Factor ? have to raise an eyebrow and they'll remember what they got up to with my mother when they were little. Having all that fun does wear you out a bit though so by the time you're reading this piece I shall be toasting the new year on a beach in the Canary Islands with a cold glass of wine. I think it's only fair that I escape a little bit of the bleak midwinter and recharge my batteries ahead of the Spring! For those of you still enjoying wintertime in Blighty, there's no better way to lift your spirits than a trip to see a fantastic show, and it's even better if you win free tickets, so make sure you enter the competition at the foot of this page ! That about wraps things up from me then, I hope you all have a wonderful start to the year and I shall see you in March, when our sister magazine, The Family Buzz, returns for it's 5th birthday issue. I wonder if they'll have a party ? I've organised an awful lot of 5th birthday parties in my time, you know... Tricia WIN TICKETS TO SEE JOSEPH AT THE WHITE ROCK THEATRE!
