I agree. The system is under immense pressure though. Hopefully it'll improve over the coming weeks, once people are sorted.

I know it may be a little bit OT but after chatting to my accountant there is 74.200 in the queue.
I dont think anyone is interested if you're sex worker or plumber. They are trying to deal with all enquiries as quickly as they can.
Anyone who is filling up application, keep saving it. Website is overloaded and yes it keeps cutting off.

Everybody's circumstances are different and nobody should be judging others in this awful pandemic.  We do what we can and what we have to do.

Good to see you pop up, LB (my brain is trying to keep track of who hasn't been on and posting for a bit that normally is ).

It's maybe not a bad time to suggest that if anybody is concerned about another member who they might have been in occasional contact with and haven't spotted for a bit, do let me know and I can possibly check some of the stuff only we can see that might indicate if they've been about

They are paying self employed up to £2900 a month depending on the last years tax return.
So in short if your paying your taxes you will be looked after.

This is not correct! An amendment was proposed to this effect but was voted down. The government is going to announce something by Friday

Hi ladies,

Wow with everything going on!!

How is everyone surviving financially!?

It’s not as if I can do webcam with partner working from home now!!! 

All well known branded hotels are literally being closed now and this is what I rely on really to earn money to be honest.
Really starting to panic, I know I’m not the only escort out there worrying about this but the girls that do just work from hotels, what are you all planning on doing now?

Loads of love xx

Hi, i am a fellow touring (only) escort. I am stuck at home and have applied for universal credit. I have 2 kids. They let me have an advance instantly into my bank of up to £800. After that I will receive about 825 per mth( minus 69 a mth to pay back the advance over next 12 mths). I also phoned my mortgage lender and have taken up the 3 mth payment break.
Apart from that I can't do much at all right now. A lovely client sent me some email vouchers for supermarket shops today. I am just hoping the government will give us more help in the next few days as I won't manage on 760 quid for long when my mortgage is 600.
I was told I can't get benefit assistance to help pay the mortgage until I have been claiming universal credits for 9 months.

Praying that in 3 weeks things should start changing for the best

Red, interesting! I missed that could you clarify please thanks 

I wasn't aware of the proposal. Thanks for clarifying, gosh.

Is it still legal to escort during restriction/
Lockdown?

Technically yes but the government guidelines are not to visit anyone who does not live with you, and to keep 2m away from anyone who isn't in your household if you do have to go out/meet anyone else. Not to visit anyone's house, or accept visitors to yours.

Police will have powers to warn from tomorrow once the bill goes through. For me explaining why I am driving to a client would be just too much, also conscience now. I saw the hoards out at the weekend, totally taking the P. Also know of younger family members (not in my family) visiting, staying with their parents then off out doing their own stuff going back to their houses and lives. If we all mess around this will get worse.

I saw my family last week we knew we might not see each other again for a long time, that's it all over for a bit.
