For me too thankfully, 2 yesterday and had to turn one down as wanted same time as one of the others ( don't you hate it when that happpens!)  and 3 today, 1 reg and 2 new younger guys.
End of last week was pretty good too but weekend was rubbish, probably due to the weather.

It's sooo dead for me since a month and a half, I start getting quite desperate hence sometimes thinking about replying and seeing the "hey babe, are you working today ?" kind of people if no reports on CE :(

That's good news, yeah shame when that happens, I get that a lot and sometimes only end up with 1 booking when I could have had 3  :FF

Hang in there Ana, it was exactly the same for me until the end of last week, I was even considering looking at getting a civvy job as I was lucky if I got 2 bookings a week.

Yes, I really really hope it's gonna catch up soon (like now I'm worried about whether I'm gonna be able to pay for my bills or not, which has never happened before). I was also thinking about getting a civvy job but finding something decent seems quite compromised at the moment

I totally get you. I only started escorting during the pandemic but I was busy. Media don't help the financial squeeze at all when it's barely the only thing other than the virus they talk about. I don't know your age or location but I'm always happy to have a chat on the phone if you want a friend to off load on x

Maybe. I'll have to PM you some time.

I have always found if I break my own rules it never goes well for me! You may the first to create a CE report on them! Rather you than me judging my some reports I've read.

I know what you mean about desperate times. I've been thinking more lately about an exit plan myself too. I have some medical stuff happening taking an ice age which can give you all kinds of mental health and life stresses because of this but like someone told me "trust the process". I'm bad at it myself but working my way towards prioritising life improvements and doing other things at the same time. It doesn't make anything happen sooner but when it happens other things will be sorted out too so overall everything makes a better outcome.

I pay rent for 1 bed in Knightsbridge, I don’t like many bookings a day normally I like 3-4 and stop my rent paid in 1 1/2 days. Now 1 or 2 booking a day if lucky, by end of week after rent £400-£800 in my pocket. My landlord know what I do, I tempted to offer him 1 hour and remove from rent but I don’t know how he react. He always friendly and do business with respect do not want to make things strange if he says no or he lose respect.

If £400-£800 a week left over after rent isn't enough for you Lorena I sympathise - your living costs must be horrendous.

Tickle, I realise you're likely to have personal commitments and a support network at your current location, but if not I would maybe think about trying somewhere else? You've mentioned wanting longer bookings with dinner and so on rather than straightforward bread-and-butter ones, but whilst the market for these certainly exists, it's vanishingly small and the punters who book them are - by and large - not scratching about on Adultwork.

I moved nearly 300 miles to get the sort of business I wanted, so I do have some idea about the frustration of spending time and effort on good marketing and a decent service offering just to get whinging hagglers and unhygienic, pig ignorant bigots who could barely string a sentence together and I couldn't continue as I was, but obviously I know it isn't that easy for everyone (and I also know that these punters would be perfectly fine for somebody else, just not me). Sometimes you have to recognise that your market isn't accessible to you in your current situation and then you can work out ways of making it so, if that makes sense?

I'd also suggest that if you want 'dates', forget about getting them through punters and just go on some dates :).

I'm pretty sure the landlord can be prosecuted for this now, so if he's any sort of decent type he'll say no anyway. I agree it's a pretty good way to find yourself without a flat sooner or later.

Must be misunderstanding about dinner dates. I was speaking  about normal booking. What you say about effort is true.

Yeah plus if you fall out with him or he goes funny on you for any reason, he can take you to court and pretend you haven't paid, it's not like you can get a receipt for a blowjob, imagine you turning up to court explain that you've paid him 😂

Same reason I always pay my landlord by bank transfer even though I could pay cash, I want a record, just in case.

£400-£800 per week after rent. Wow Thts good for London.
Please
Don’t mix business with pleasure with your landlord—such arrangements or suggestions never end well.
