I know lots of variables and everyone's different etc, but I'm way down this week on my normal count which I'm usually happy with. I wondered if being the first week of August - I know people like this week to go away on holidays and so forth  - was part of the reason.

But I did drop my prices last month and I got a surge of custom (I dropped them because I'd changed areas, the prices where I had been before were generally a bit higher and because I'm working full time over summer) but this week my numbers have dropped below what they were before the price cut.

It's not a huge issue if it's just this week and I know everyone had peaks and falls, but when the drop is dramatic is does leave me scratching my head a bit. ???

Dead as a bloody doornail for me right now :S  Am offering a reduced rate for August, as I know school holidays and so on cut into business, but it's really depressing, especially after a good start working in this country (where tbh my business has been lower than in North America anyway).  Starting to get rather low over it if I'm honest!

Last week and this week have been absolutely dire for me.

Not just me then...I'm sure I read somewhere that this first week if August is the most popular week for going on holiday...I'll have to dig that research out ...

I'm doing as well as usual. I had a slow week in the middle of July.
We're women, it's what we do. I just get paid for it.

I know it's said school hols are quiet so yes this week is quieter but last week was my busiest for months. Last August I remember was very busy but then my busy might not be classed as busy by someone else, like those who tour. Anyway, the rain, extreme hot weather etc makes no difference to my bookings. No rhyme nor reason! Maybe the payday time does slightly.

Weirdly today has picked up and I'm quite busy. But it's normally everyday like this and after a VERY dead 4/5 I'm suddenly shunted into activity that I wasn't expecting.

Weird how after a few days of just chilling out in town or watching movies makes me want more of the same and even though I need the dolla because this is my last full week for a while, I'm unusually struggling to want to answer the phone.

I get addicted to busy. Then addicted to slow  8)

What I find a good thing that passes time during the slow dips is staying calm and relaxed doing things. It sure picks up in good time. This is why I think it is important to have a life outside of escorting as well.

Wow, wow, wow. This has been my slowest week since I went Indie back in March. Only had 3 half hour bookings! Driving me mental, spesh as I have so much to pay out for before Uni in Sept. Fingers crossed the weekend brings some luck!

Don't worry Martine as it takes time to get established.

Joining the grumble team - I've had every single person cancel on me this week so far. Oh god the frustration.
