Hello All

Have a bit of a (thankfully minor this time) dilemma and was hoping for some feedback/suggestions as to what you all think is the best thing to do.

Basically myself and boyfriend have applied to a letting agency to privately rent a flat and the agents have asked for our employment details before they can approve the lease. Thankfully my boyfriend has full time gainful dayjob employment so thats fine and dandy but the question is what on earth do i say i do for a living??

I am registered self employed as an escort and her Majesty's customs have never so much as raised an eyebrow however i fear that giving the same answer to a letting agent may result in a burning pitchforks and lynching style scenario!

I have just resigned from my day job as well on the grounds that i hate the sight of everyone in the organisation,i am planning on getting another part time job but at the moment escorting is my only source of income. I can more than afford to cover my rent but what on earth do i say to letting agents,party planner,horse whisperer,image consultant to the stars?? I just don't know.

Any suggestions much appreciated,i will put the best ones in a hat and do a prize drawer,my future is in your hands

Morning!!!

I am also registered as self employed "therapist" but my claim is life coach.............

So you could be life coach - therapist - counsellor ............... any good ?

Good luck

Well having got past the bit about saying what i do for a living,I'm a now officially a counsellor before Ive even qualified,impressive eh?
Letting agents are now asking for my accountants details because I'm registered as self employed,only problem being that i don't have an accountant (only been working for a couple of months) i keep my own books etc though,I'm just a bit concerned about how i might as a counsellor explain having condoms down as an allowable expense

Suddenly getting a job in a call centre seems a strangely attractive idea,still puzzling as to how I'm gonna work round this one!

i think it is fine to tell them that you are not that long in business and many small enterprises and self employed in whatever sector don't have an accountant, and i think that holds true especially for life coaching and counseling

Thats a good idea medea

I might keep it in mind for the future,thanks
