And if you don’t want to leave your kids with a ‘free house’ then take them with you… to Mamma Mia in London.
Take one precious neighbour back home in Ireland.
And a much-earned weekend away in the West End.
And your peace will be broken.
With endless texts about how she’s had to get the Gardaí out to break up the Son and Daughterie’s party.
Just as you are dancing away to the show-stopping finale to Beautiful: The Carole King Story.
Take a chance on Mamma Mia!

Alas, it’s too late baby to see the brilliant which packed up and moved on.
But Mamma Mia! Here we go again with the magical musical on at Novello Theatre (Holborn).
And you can dig in the dancing scene with Cassidy Travel who are offering a two-nights package in March.
With two nights’ accommodation, March 11 and 12.
You’ll get a seated show ticket in the Dress Circle with return flights (optional). Prices from €289pp.
Super troupers

Now if you’re looking for a Christmas gift for Herself.
And aren’t women always harder to buy for than men.
Then why not take your Dancing Queen to London’s bright lights for the big Abba musical.
Only make sure that you don’t leave a free house behind.
And seeing you’re asking then all My Own Little Spirit of Christmas wants is…
Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy… a man after midnight.
