Yep I had 6 bookings yesterday and ended up doing 3. I had one guy cancel he is due to be blocked as he has cancelled the last 3 times he has booked and one no show and one cancellation that I knew would cancel as he seemed more concerned about his flash car being safe even though I am in a nice area.Just mainly getting 'u avail?' type texts at the mo which never really bode well.

I've had 8 bookings since Saturday but my two today have both cancelled at short notice. I'm guessing they probably thought they would be free but family stuff has come up.

I've had a couple of sincere-sounding calls, but only took one booking. He was a bit full-on (in a good way, just physically tiring) and now I'm pretty much done. Just can't be arsed! I have answered to a couple of decent-sounding guys and said I was "all booked up for the day." I missed a call from a regular whilst I was busy, too. Don't really care.... I'm ready to shut up shop and go home and enjoy Christmas with the rug rats.

I will say that my PG is selling like hot cakes! I can't believe I waited so long to do a PG - Even paying ?7.50 a day for available today/phone number/front of local search, I'm still gaining credits. If it gets much higher I am going to transfer some out because we all know AW likes to shut down profiles with lots of credits.  ::)

Had a booking this morning that was meant to be an hour, then he changed his mind to half an hour, and only lasted 10 mins  ;)
Had a lot of enquiries for quickies, but just couldn't be bothered, got an hour booking at 7pm I didn't really want to take
either, but took it anyway..  ::)
Don't know about you girls, but I'm pretty tired, I think I need a rest!!  ;D
I don't have to be perfect, but I'm perfect at being me!

I fucked off early - did a one-hour booking and then just couldn't be bovvered.

I feel guilty. I mean, I made over ?1000 in three days but on each day I sort of got tired and cut out early. I KNOW I could have made at least ?360-?400 more if I hadn't done that. And when I think of my family I feel guilty because I was "lazy" and elected not to make that extra money.

But bloody hell this work can be draining. Punters have no idea how fucking hard it is.

With you on that one, had a migraine yesterday, saw two of my regulars and then cancelled my 3rd appointment.  I was not well and in bed by 6pm and can quite honestly say I am knackered and grateful.

Yes but just think about how many hours you would have had to work in a minimimum wage job to make that.

Also don't feel guilty, if you are tired your tired, better to lose a couple of bookings than have to take time off because you have burned yourself out

There are a lot of perameters to consider in our job.

Our job appears well paid if clients show.  Taking your figures Fabulassie for three days, 1000GBP sounds fantastic but how many hours each day was put in for that.  Even counting it at 8 hours each day including time to get ready and travel (if you don't work from home and it could have been longer) then it was really just about 41 GBP  an hour, yes that is a good rate for a civvy job, but we don't work a civvy job, but not as good as many people think and that is not deducting expenses incurred for the hours you worked.

If clients don't show it is by far a lot lower hourly rate.

Guys don't realise just how draining the job is, especially at this time of year.  And how many girls heads were elsewhere while they were working, thinking, oh I could get "x" such and such and "y" such and such and wanting to be elsewhere too.

I don't think its good to work constantly, we all need down time and Fabulassie, you took yours and you deserve it too.

Yes whoring can be a better paying job at times but at what cost? 

I have always found when I am getting stressed about something or I'm anxious about something my language starts to get more "colourful" and for me that was an indication to start to slow down or stop.  Perhaps you do need a break Fabulassie, take time to enjoy the festive season with your family.

We can't foresee what we may have made if we "stayed longer" at our place of work, for those clients who called later or who intimated they would have called may have cancelled last minute or just been a no show, so unless we were there to find out we can never be sure. So best to just forget about that.

You made enough to keep yourself afloat I'm assuming and were happy with that.  Never feel guilty about it as it is your business and you work the hours you are fit and able to work.

Now it's family time, enjoy.

Merry Christmas everyone. Xx

Beauty is nothing to do with having a pretty face.
It is about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart,
And most importantly a beautiful soul.

Yes, it's true that our hourly pay isn't anything like our prices. For one thing, we are paid to be available. At least I am - I work in a city centre and most of my clients are somewhat short notice. Many of them literally call the very moment they want to go see someone. So I do all the shaving and douching and get suited and booted and do my hair and then I sit and am "available" for when the urge strikes them. It's true that I have freedom during that time - I can elect to go out to the shops and eat when I want - but to make the most money possible I have to sit and wait for the phone to ring.

That's a good point Fabulassie, we are kind of paid to be 'available'. Not that I have been doing much of that lately as I've only been seeing prebooked guys. But your comment had given me something to think about, especially to make the most money.
Thanks

I've always found it to be very busy I've done 2 1 hrs already this morning and have 5 more booked in for the rest of the day

In fact this whole week has been  really really busy especially  Xmas Eve  which was crazy

Give it a go
