I went to my local Starbucks this morning (I go everyday and chat up with the friendly girls working behind the counter) and they told me that they are very quiet and experiencing a very slow December too. And this is a Starbucks in the most turistic part of central London! WTF??Actually that made me feel a bit better and not take it personal (lol), as in "It's not me, it's the economy!" I agree with all that you said but when you think about it , knowing is not just you does help with your confidence etc but when you actually know that you are in need fir money doesnt do much does it ? )

Just spoke to a good friend of mine who works in london but lives abroad She visit every year at this time and is usually mega busy think around ?1000 a day She said a regular client of hers said that in his office / business only 30 percent if the staff are working this week /last week because they had a very good summer they didn't take any holiday leave a lot of them took an extra week or so and are away over xmas /new year period He said it's probably typical in the majority of the finance /banking sector as they all apparently had a very good summer
I've had nothing but time wasters the past two days and 2 no shows! Seriously considering advertising in more places as I only advertise on AW and one other place. Also considering lowering my rates but really don't want to! Thought it would be busier as I'm in Central London. I guess everyone's saving their money for Christmas. Last week was really good though.
Does anyone else just get the feeling this how it's going to be now? Maybe it's where I'm located but 2 of friends have been doing this 10+ years and said the past 18 months it's been the worst they've ever known. I've stopped having daily targets now and any expectations of what I class as a busy week. I'm slowly making steps to leave escorting as it's just not what it was before.
