West End review: Bat Out of Hell – The Musical
Dec 20 2018
Jim Steinman’s Bat Out Of Hell – The Musical is a romantic adventure about rebellious youth and passionate love, set against the backdrop of a post-cataclysmic city adrift from the mainland. It gets the full 5 out of 5 stars from me. I personally loved everything about this musical: the compelling dystopian story, the rock music by Meat Loaf, the performances, the choreography and the special effects. It’s a shame it ends in January 2019 because I would have happily gone back to see it again. Read my full verdict here.

Want To – How to handle a stubborn child
Dec 18 2018
Your toddler is determined that he want to touch the stove. You try to convince them that this will hurt them. You say no, you move them several times from the area of the stove. You even go so far as to tap them on the butt to show them how serious you are about this being something they shouldn’t do. They continually sneak back into the kitchen and reach up to try and touch the hot element. Nothing you are doing is making them realise that this is dangerous. They want to touch it and reasoning isn’t going to work, spanking isn’t going to work, timeouts are not going to work.

There’s simply not enough time to enjoy all these amazing stories.
