Me too Darcy. I put mine up by £100. I seem to be getting better enquiries for when lockdown is over tho not sure I will go back.I find it’s harder for me to go back when I haven’t worked for a while maybe I become desensitised when I am being mounted all the time by strange men that I don’t “feel” anything.The ones I have seen are complaining via email.Another thing I have encountered is how many have messaged me because they are lonely and isolated and want me to keep in touch! Suddenly they see us as friends, Honestly it’s been draining. I don’t like being cold but at the same time I am not responsible.
It also feels really weird not getting 'fiddled with' lol.
I can't say not having to be in work mode is doing my brain any harm, tbh. I don't consider clients to have any real impact on my mental state one way or the other though, regardless of whether or not I like them.Having had my work phone switched off for over a month has been particularly joyous, but I'm dreading the day I have to start answering calls from randoms again. I'm bad enough if I've just had a week off.
Was it a finger prick blood test?
No matter what the situation if I was asked what is my best price? I would reply the one on my profile. That's about it. I won't be increasing or knocking any £££'s off because of the pandemic. To double or even ramp up my fees would be ruinous. I would get no work at all and I am sure of that.
A nice regular rang with a big intro about having less wages, no overtime and asked for my 'best price'. Plus requesting another service thrown in the pot.Thing is, he was mildly angling for this before the plague and this gives him the perfect excuse to bleat again. So now he's chopped liver to me.
