Is anybody starting work again next week?

I am in school hours thank god. This will he the first time I’ve had any time to myself or to work in three months I’m there with bells on !!!

Is anybody starting work again next week?

Yes!!

Starting tomorrow too, but I've had my phones on the last two weeks just to give information and get ready to get things started and had very very little business. Today for some weird reasons I've had many enquiries for the upcoming week. I'm fearing a recession and that things won't go back to pre-lockdown till October at least. I'm in central London and it's quite dead.

Since I started the previous comment, I see that the UK government..

.. the one led by Boris "at least he wasn't having an affair (like me)" Johnson ..

.. is just in the process of making sex between two (or more) people in a private place who do not live in the same household an illegal "gathering" ..

.. unless it's for the purpose of work (or a few other now very limited reasons).

The definition of "a gathering" is "when two or more people are present together in the same place in order to engage in any form of social interaction with each other, or to undertake any other activity with each other". Sex is obviously included in that.

From tomorrow, Monday 1st June, in England:

"No person may participate in a gathering which takes place in a public or private place -
a) outdoors, and consists of more than six persons, or
b) indoors, and consists of two or more persons."

Unless it is
- to avoid harm
- to private care or assistance to a vulnerable person
- to provide emergency assistance or
- for work purposes

It goes on to add 'or for the provision of voluntary or charitable services', but I wonder if anyone really wants to be on the front page of every newspaper for trying that as a reason...

We can laugh, but I do think people need to think about this - escort bookings are clearly illegal for now, and unlikely as it may be, you could end up with a fine or worse. And a lot of people are being reported by neighbours etc., plus hotels are likely to be on the look out.

Sorry but in my case I've decided to follow government regulations and put myself in the cathegory of "people who cannot work from home and must go to work".

I lack a venue for some considerable time.  My son's school will only be part time and earliest from mid June and no more than 5 weeks then school holds and from September also may be part-time.  That said I wouldn't need to see too many during this pandemic until things considerably die down.  Luckily I have very low overheads.  I can live on a scrimp.  I am working on the basis that there will be very little for now to be realistic.  I will offer outcalls as well as a handful of monthly incalls and anticipate no more than two monthly (never very popular but likely to be the longer bookings) and hopefully by November school should be full time and thereafter I am aiming for two thirds of usual earnings to be realistic for a year or so.

Even if enquiries and bookings came flooding in (unlikely!) I would be too freaked to take many unless and until the pandemic got to level 2 or level 1.  And that may well be a very long time off.

Until the Covid-19 warning on my AW profile is off I won’t be working. This is just a personal preference as it will make me feel more comfortable offering bookings. I am very fortunate that I have another income and have support . But I totally respect others that feel the need to go to work now and I wish you all the luck in the world - it’s been a hard few months. Things will eventually go back to normal but there will always be the fear of the virus in the back of everyone’s mind - I know my services will he changed once I’m back and I’ll be working less. Good luck girls ! Xxx
