I worked in Bristol yesterday and was busy back the back. Don’t see any change now. I feel like because it’s not total lock down ie they can do school runs etc they have an excuse to be out. If you have an incall to work from its busy. Lots of girls on the rental threads here offering spare rooms to work from if anyone wants to tour you just got to be clever about it. There will be a lot more clients now a vaccine is on the way as well I think.

The vaccine is still at least a few weeks away, and longer for the general public.

It's also worth reminding people that you're vulnerable to being fined if anyone reports you for breaking lockdown (in England).

Just a thought that I had re the new vaccine (obviously once it's available): some guys will try to convince you that they've had the vaccine in order for you to see them. Don't trust them. It will be rolled out according to age and/or sector. It will be voluntary. It was explained during the last press briefing that they plan to do it starting with the over 80s and frontline NHS staff, then roll from there. So keep an eye on where they are in the vaccination programme at any point in time, so that you know when you're talking to a 50 year old accountant who swears he's been vaccinated, and the info says it's currently "over 65s and teachers", you know he's trying it on.

I have had quite a few "I'm immune" and "I've already had it" and "I haven't got it" messages, so I'm just thinking out loud here for when the guys start with the "I was vaccinated last week" comments!

Ha- to add to this, yes they definitely will try it on with the whole 'I've been vaccinated' thing: Got a msg at 3am from some drongo saying that he would like to come see me and that it was safe to do so as he 'had the vaccine an hour ago coz it has just been approved.'   :FF :FF

To be fair, I can see it popping up on a fair few ads as well ::);D

I'm not working today but I've still turned five bookings away, four of which I would have done. I'm currently deciding whether to put my number back on AW next week but it's so nice and quiet without the twatcalls I might just skip it :)

I have seen a few regulars.

Taken my no off AW because I was getting a lot of twats wanting discount
''because you must need the cash''.

Er, no.

I know there is a risk , but I figure that there always is.

Best to ask the drongo whose vaccine did he take, and who 'approved' it?  Might give you a few laughs, but I'd be curious about their answer and how fast he creates it.

The lockdowns not stopped any of my regulars wanting to book me and I've had new enquiries but I'm having to go from working days to evenings so I've had to adapt a bit. I've avoided VS so no timewasters for weeks, Amazing how many TW come from that site and it's not cheap to advertise on it. I'm actually enjoying having my days to myself and find evening bookings feel better and great for mood lighting lol.

I personally wouldn't choose to see anyone because they did  or did not have the vaccine, Like I wouldn't the flu jab. I suppose my older clients will feel safer if they had the vaccine and venture out and see me so that's a positive, But for my own protection I'm counting on my own immune system and vetting guys, Like already mentioned there's always a risk to this job.

It's a pain as I had to cancel a few planned serviced apartments this month but saving on travel and with most things closed no temptation to spend or eat out.

It's dead right now, but also, I have my period and three family birthday's this month so I am cool with it.  Looking forward to getting back in December.

That is assuming we go out of lockdown in December... because if bloody lockdown continues thru December forget about your phones ringing.

I think I heard on the news that the next two weeks are crucial in stabilizing the R rate, so if it comes down some more, some restrictions might be lifted.

For me it's been unusually quiet last 2 days and no enquiries on AW and not even timewasters, I think the lockdown may make clients more anxious and more cautious and possibly with partners at home or just need to spend less with Xmas coming. When the last lockdown ended I was back to busy but I think it's possible lockdown may go on past the 2nd of December so I'm already getting mentally prepared and also trying not to spend on anything unnecessary. I haven't been a escort long enough to compare the lead up to Christmas so that might factor into it being slower.

On one had it's great that the timewasters on AW have finally vanished, but my god, it is silent. I've not had a private gallery sale for a fortnight now, and that's never happened before. I've even added a few new pictures too, and still nothing.

I also fear lockdown might continue past 2 December, and have more of less written off the rest of this year tbh. It's so frustrating, I'm holding a lot of deposits for appointments yet to be confirmed, many of which were taken back during the last lockdown.

This year has been crazy. 2021 must be better!

I'm still getting a few regulars enquiring about bookings but the thought of neighbours seeing anyone coming in is making me jumpy.
I also think we'll be lucky to get out of this lockdown on Dec 2nd, I think they'll tag a bit longer on when it comes to it.
My private gallery sales are practically none existant too which I find very odd as were doing well before lockdown and can't think of a reason for it.
I'm not convinced next year will be much better, not until summer anyway. On tv today there was opinion that things may not be back to anything like normal until this time next year    :-[
