Valentines Weekend, the second compulsory shopping event of the year has arrived, bringing with it a whole load of tacky poetry, pink fluff and paying double for your food in the only restaurant that wasn’t fully booked. Great. I will be spending my Valentine’s in the nation’s capital, in amongst millions of smug couples desperately trying to out-romance one another with dinner, cabs and flowers.

However, some lucky Swing-dancing souls will be skipping the whole ordeal to spend the weekend at Goodnight Sweetheart, the UK’s Largest Swing Camp. Surely a great way to spend your Valentines weekend? Boasting 60 Hours of Workshops, 4 nights of dancing and the very enviable ‘1940’s Valentines Ball.’ So on that note we thought we’d bring you some MORE tips for the Ladies from that ‘oh so liberated era’ of the 1940’s on how to compose oneself in those ‘more romantic moments’.

Number one Get dressed at home

Number two Don’t get sentimental

Number three…By far the most important

Happy Valentines weekend!…however you choose to spend it
