sorry but i had to snigger at what you wrote Amy - 106 post and started 6 years ago - must be the longest running thread ever on a forum
106 post - 6years and nothings changed everyones still staying how quiet it is (
In America, one letter off and that's an offensive word. I think it's called 'snicker'.
In the UK one letter off and it's an offensive word too. However you'll find it isn't
one letter off and that the phrase here is indeed snigger. Not to mention the fact that Paris has quite the tan on her ![Smiley :)](https://saafe.info/main/Smileys/classic/smiley.gif)
Any how I think things are up and down everywhere. A lot of ladies and gents will find that touring simply isn't working any more and staying in base makes more sense. It seems now more than ever it pays to save and invest where we can although it may seem so hard. For me when money is slower coming in I reassess my out goings and realise so many things can be done cheaper/not at all. It helps I find
I agree and didn't J Lo get slated for using the N word in one of her songs
Touring used to be great you could make thousands of pounds and it still can be good and I'm glad Ive toured everywhere because i learnt a lot and i have made some really nice friends from touring mainly in Ireland but also here in the uk
But i find that touring now especially in the uk isn't really worth the hassle for me and i expect lots of ladies will find it to be the same.
Ireland is still good for me but thats only because i have been going there for a long time and have lots of regulars there
Australia was fab but its so bloody far and so expensive so to go there you really have to take it as more of a working extended holiday Canada is my next big tour later this year and I'm really excited about that as i have always wanted to visit Canada
But for now I'm staying close home for the next few months. I will still tour as i really like it and get to visit places that i have never been to and probably wouldn't have the opportunity to if i wasn't in this business but it will be more of a working holiday to places that i want to visit rather than expecting to make a fortune like it used to be
I don't see the point in charging the same or less than what i charge at home when I'm touring and earning less as I'm immediately down by ?100 ?150 min in the uk and abroad it can be as much as ?200 ?250 a day when you factor in flights advertising and all the other crap
I can sit at home do 2 -3 bookings a day sometimes more but rarely less than that over a week, but touring I would need to do double that amount to make it worth while for me to work long hours be away from home and stuck in hotel for weeks on end
