I agree all bookings with clients is still very much mixing.

When I say I vet clients in terms of their occupation of course I am aware they may be lying.  However i do not advertise on my profile that I check this or it will give them time to make up jobs and lie so I am just hoping they aren't lying....

I can only work if schools are open and at this rate they may close very soon.

I would rather not work at all right now as the new variant gives me the heebie jeebies but needs must owing to dwindling savings.

Surely we all have our reasons for working and circumstances in terms of risk assessment and so on.

Presumably the person above meant they don't mix outside of the job as they don't want to exacerbate their own risk taking.

Just hope that vaccine rollout is nice and swift and tiers are soon a thing of the past for all our sakes!

Yes TT I'm aware of how the virus spreads but it's not predictable at all and that's why we keep going into lockdowns and tiers. I did a strict lockdown for the first round and didn't have anyone enter my home, Did not work, Only mixed with my household and they wouldn't leave the house for fear of catching covid, I didn't see friends And wore a mask. I only went out to get food and I tested positive for covid while doing everything to stay safe. My symptoms started one evening with hot and cold sweats and a night of feeling unwell but not severe. Next day I felt a bit weak and lost my sense of smell 2 weeks and taste 4 weeks. I was very cautious but how did I get it, No idea but everything we buy has been handled before. If anything the mental side of all this has been the most testing for me and for so many. Hopefully by Autumn things will be better if the vaccines get out to most that need it and the vulnerable. All My older clients and those with elderly parents have not seen me but kept in touch. I only work 10 days a month now. But everyone feels different about the morals of working and that's fine as we all have a choice to not work if we felt scared or need to shield loved ones or don't want to break the law. If we get tighter lockdowns then I will not work due to the mental stress of it all.

Back in lockdown and thank goodness I've saved money so can take some time off. I just feel I have to now. Be interesting to see if the phones go quiet now or maybe punters aren't as afraid this time.

Let's hope the vaccine roll out is accelerated with use of the military etc.  Cus at the rate they are going some of our clients will die naturally of old age nevermind the virus.

Like you lush I can't see my regulars from home with family now home but I already booked a place to work this week for a few days. I have a feeling that the new announcement that police will stop people to see if they are out and about for the reasons the government allow will put off loads of clients, I expect my usual clients over 50 will not venture out and chance a punt. I have no idea what to expect when I go available this week. I think come May we will still have tiers and for most of this year. Now police and enter homes with force so I would be very cautious working from home.

Be great to hear if anyone is ticking along ok with New lockdown.

Jeez. Around 1 in 50 people in UK have Covid. That is scary to me I must say.

Is it worth working city centre with the virus? Nowhere is open, parking isn’t great and the men won’t have an excuse for being around. Thinking it’s better to work not city centre atm?

Difficult to say but the police are getting very serious now  giving out fines to people for walking few miles from home and saying because they had takeaway coffee in the 2 women's hands that is classed as a picnic. Worst death record today.

I had a 2hr outcall booked for early next week with someone i seen before that he booked over 2 weeks ago he is a hermit and lives alone but i have cancelled it as too risky being 20 miles away from home and it is not like i could say popping to supermarket or going for a drive to walk.
