I’ve been working in Newton Abbot and Plymouth and phones gone mad. I feel like the tide is turning and people are so fed up they are coming out to play. I’ve seen a distinct upturn in business since the schools went back.
OMG! I'm in Plymouth and I've been absolutely dead for the last 4 weeks or so :( really hope it picks up again soon, it's so disheartening!

Sorry if this has come up before. I've been very wary of working - my civvy job involves contact with vulnerable people. I've been "double jabbed" now - second jab floored me. I'm also tested at least twice a week. Anyway can I ask - is anyone thinking of asking clients for proof of vaccination or a recent negative covid test?

Pussy willow i am not thinking of asking any client if they been vaccinated. I don't see how them having the jab really impacts on us working as people can as we still catch covid with the jab but you should be protected from getting very ill or dying. I have had the first jab myself which is supposed to protect a good percentage after 3 weeks anyway for me if i caught it.

Do you mean more from a moral point of view asking if a client has been vaccinated?

It's up to you but personally I wouldn't ask for it. You've had both of yours so that gives you as much protection as you can get.

I won't. It's a bit like STIs to me - the main thing is to protect yourself. I'm sure some would lie anyway, and a recent negative test wouldn't mean much as they could be infected in between then and your booking. Luckily I had my second jab last week, so my immunity will roughly coincide with the next phase of lockdown lifting on May 17th, and I wouldn't work before then anyway.

I guess I'm just a bit concerned that I could still pick the virus up and pass it on. But I suppose you could go on forever thinking like that. I have to get back to work properly soon.

Yes you can over think things. We have to look after ourselves not worry about other's who don't. You are in a good position you have had 2 doses so protected the most you can be.

A dramatic increase in traffic to my website over the past few days, all from overseas, most notably the US (which used to be my biggest market). It will be interesting to see if it translates into bookings. I hope it does as I've had one cancellation and another postpone, so now have a few open slots.

The good news is that the US is being very fast with it's vaccination program and most are getting the johnson vaccine which is one shot only, so unlike here were he had to get two shots and wait two months in between jabs they are going incredibly fast. This is good news as it will speed international travel. I believe mid summer we will start seeing an influx of tourism and international travel. (crosses fingers). Things will speed up even faster once PCR's are not needed to fly into the UK as having to spend and extra 500 pounds per person in PCR's to fly back and fourth is stopping travellers.

Yes! A good friend lives in the US and she had Pfizer - there's only a matter of weeks between vaccines, so while I am waiting for my second shot in June, she's already vaccinated.

I concur re. mid-summer. (Crosses fingers too)

Is anyone else had or getting a vast amount of hate from randoms in your inbox because you’ve worked in Covid times? I’m seeing a real decline in bookings and interest lately and more messages about how much of a horrible person I am for spreading Covid, I don’t even want to check my inbox on AW anymore!! Maybe there are more girls working now, has anyone else picked up or declined in interest the last couple of weeks? With things return more to a normality I thought I would be busy this week but it isn’t the case

I don't really get much in the way of email on AW (possibly because I don't log in that often), but I do have an autoreply which basically tells them to call or text me and my profile page makes this clear too? I doubt the whingers are quite so brave when it comes to actually speaking to you directly ::).

I'm not working this week, but I've been steady away and was really busy a couple of weeks ago (followed by a quiet week which I could have done with now, but we can't have everything ;D). I'm finding more punters are starting to come back into work even if it's only a couple of days a week and the streets have been noticeably busier near me since the start of the month. I generally find Americans bloody hard work so I'm glad for them to look elsewhere, although my view is probably coloured by working in New York and having to plough through the thousand word emails that tell me everything except when they want to book and for how long  :D.

Hi all, I haven't been working since this whole covid thing started and I am finally thinking of going back (ended up failing to the last couple of times I wanted to). I will be financially stable until around April next year, if I don't go back, so that is why I haven't been in any major rush. I'm fully vaccinated, so don't think I can get much safer now? How have people found going back to work? Should I take any specific precautions with clients? I already plan not to offer kissing, but is there anything else I should do?

Not offering kissing really isn't going to reduce your risk of catching Covid, or any other airborne viruses.

The only way to ensure you don't catch anything is to continue to not work, (or leave your house for that matter).

I agree with this. It is like when clients have asked similar questions on this and I have told them that if they are that concerned about catching anything, then they probably shouldn't be making a booking at the moment.
