In contrast to this many of my London friends worked all the way through it and made a fortune. I think I’m going to strike somewhere in the middle do 2 jobs a week with regular clients and keep the wolves away.

Whatever friends told you they were making "a fortune" on lockdown were taking the piss. I'm in central London and the few ladies working in lockdown nobody was making money, except of course for the odd regular client or two living in the vicinity who would visit them. There were no incoming flights, no tourists, no business travelling crowd and men had no excuse to leave the house. Unless your friends had several rich sugar daddies providing for them... "business wise" it just  did not happen for three months.

Bollocks, both myself and a close friend made thousands on lockdown and we aren’t even in London. Glad we did despite everything at least well insulated for the coming months.

Somebody else's experience of something being different to yours does not make it 'bollocks', especially given that Ana is talking about London which - as you've said - is not where you are and therefore your view here is irrelevent.

Regardless of that, you'll keep it civil from now on, please. If you're not able to do that, we'll help.

Hi Guys,
I’m a little bit stuck on what to do with this lockdown.
Is anyone here going to continue working?
Last time we went into lockdown, I was forced to work out of necessity, as I was new to escorting and had no savings. I’ve saved a comfortable amount now, but I would ideally like to work to cover my basic living costs (700 a month) at least, as I’m terrified of the lockdown being extended and eating up the savings I’ve worked so hard for.
I feel guilty, but I have no government help that I can access. As a Postgrad masters student, I think even universal credit isn’t an option.

I only work from hotels so I can’t work...if I had my own incall place Then I probably would still work, I would prob only  see the odd reg here and there until the lockdown was over  .. i been abit more prepared for this second lockdown.. I have saved up monies to make sure I have got enough to tie me over until restrictions get lifted..

I'm only going to see regs and people I've seen before just like I did with the first lockdown. I'm so glad I did that. I don't see many as it is. I have a feeling this is going to drag on for a lot longer than they say and even when restrictions were lifted it was still quiet for me as I see mostly older people. The media have done untold damage with all their scaremongering. I think they've frightened some people off permanently  >:(

I'm going to continue my 3 days a week and see how it goes. I see 4 a day. I think there's going to be tons of rule breakers this time.

Although my finances have taken a huge hit since March, I won't be working during lockdown for a myriad of reasons mostly out of my control. Also, I'm in London, the majortiy of the men I see are not, and won't be for some time and if I'm honest, I am not really looking to engage with anyone new at the moment.

If I offered in calls, I would possibly consider seeing a few regulars if they contacted me, but I wouldn't be soliciting for business.

OP, do what you have to do, and take care of yourself!

Me too i use hotels so cannot even if i wanted to. I dont blame others for breaking rules especially this time round as
It can put some of you on here in worse debt and some are already having a hard time right now earning. The government help is not good enough for some or some will not qualify for it.
