I’ve had my number shown most of the week. I’ve not paid for local featuring or available today. I’ve done 3 half hours - 2 we’re returning clients. It’s super quiet for me and I’m in the East Midlands.

DL, not everybody wants to post their exact location on the public board in case they're identified, or for any other reason they like. Please stop it.

I've stopped offering bookings at all for the time being. I just don't think it's worth the risk, but I am in the 'at-risk' group. I'll be sticking to camming for a while. Hope you're all staying safe, ladies  :-*

Please everyone do not work. Italy are reporting cases of people in the age bracket 30-40 coming into intensive care now. I’ve been watching the reports all day on bbc news. The medical staff were begging people if we don’t want the death rate they have we must stay at home.

Also some people that have the virus have no symptoms at all and those are the worry spreading it to the vulnerable.

The simple message is if you want this over fast we must all follow their advice or it’s going to go on and on.

Surely East Mids is enough?

I'm not sure geography makes much difference, except that London is possibly different to the rest of the country in terms of the effect of the WFH for a lot of people (i.e. business men now have no opportunity for a booking).

The problem is exactly what I said, and I'm not repeating myself. Stop demanding people post their location on the board, and if you're that desperate to know then send them a PM. They might even tell you.

As for thinking your area might be the only one affected that's not even stupid, it's downright bizarre. Have you been hiding under the settee for the last week?

I wish I was  :-\

I agree with blondie. Most of us are not working. We are on the same boat as anyone else.
Hope time will pass quickly and we can go back to work  :-*

I packed away my work stuff at my flat yesterday, stuck the lingerie and clothes in a bag out of the way and the rest in a box on a shelf in the living room. My bedside now has my books and knitting on it, and the drawer has handcream and a sleep mask and the TV remote in rather than condoms and lube and nappy bags. It's a very small thing, but it's nice for a change :).

i hv 2 acquaintances who are doing very well in manchester TODAY AND YESTERDAY. while in my area and i assume in most areas its been dead. the reason to know what areas are doing well right now is to identify possible touring opportunities as im running low on money and i need to tour asap or i will go bankrupt. lol its not like im gonna identify anyone here i mean there're hundreds of profiles in every city. so as said, im trying to figore out where its busy for now thats why i asked, no other motives lol.

ALL of us running out of money. Girls are not working and staying at home for the right reason. I don’t think anyone can advice you on busy area fully packed with horny men. We are all worried so it’s not only about you.

I’d love not to be working, but I don’t like the tone I’m hearing here.  We don’t all have savings to fall back on.  I had two years of ill health which swallowed them up, and literally this February was the first time I’ve been properly available.

I’m taking a lot of additional precautions, and obviously I know that can’t mitigate all risks, but if I’m to retain a home, I have no choice.

I’m noticing a big downturn in bookings which was fairly obvious tbh, I’m hardly getting any, a huge increase in timewasters too.

Hang in there, LT. I'm avoiding the endless news reports, but I do know that there's been some considerable outcry about self employed sole traders being left out of the government provisions, so hopefully they'll get to us sooner or later :).

I haven't had a chance to start saving yet, I only started working in November and after saving for Xmas and clearing the credit card has been so little work since it has only just kept us going.  Was really banking on things picking up this month as so many more experienced ladies advised.

And now has come the gamechanger, there will be no March pick up, it is just back to the basics, living on the breadline again.  We will just about cope I should think, but there will be luxuries and no treats, just very basic food.

When I noticed the rats in the city I said 'Welcome to the new Victorian era'  now I believe that stronger than ever.
