Total fluke I bet, after being so quiet had 3 today and had to turn another one away.
All regs, thank goodness for them.

I’ve been in London it’s been dry. I feel like every week is dragging.

That's good to hear FA  :)

This week is turning out steady and I think the two really crappy ones mid month were hopefully just a memory, but it doesn't help when you have a couple of unexpected expenses. One of my regulars said he'd not been for a few weeks because he'd got from his holidays and had to buckle down to work to catch up, so that would explain the post school holiday crapness somewhat.

I have been very busy everytime I work last 3 months, but I only do 2 weeks a month and have regulars. But this month I have had more 30 min bookings, I normally only get one 30 min a day. I do use AT, escort featuring only a few days before I work. I was expecting this month to be quiet but it's been really good.

Yes it was definitely a fluke, back to virtually nothing again.
A guy I'd seen previously who called on Wed saying he wanted a booking Thurs disappeared and another I'd seen before who booked weeks ago for today cancelled this morning    :(
Just 1 x 30 min all day so far and yes it was a regular .. Oh and another pissing about via text who clearly has no intention of actually making a booking.

I had a better day. I did a really good face pic for the front page on AW. They took three days to put it on but we got there in the end!

Well I’m back to ten days of touring and it’s been very disappointing I did some of Scotland and only managed 1-2 jobs a day which isn’t really enough when it took me 6 hours to get here  :FF

I’ve really noticed a drop off this year compared to last year. Very worried about buying Xmas pressies for family and all the extras I need I’m barely scraping my bill money.

I have been an escort for 5 years and never known things so quiet! I feel like last year was better for me in this profession as there was a lot of pent up demand. It especially helped being a trans escort as guys were more willing to want to try new things.

However, in the long term I’m not sure whether escorting is sustainable aside from doing it as a side hustle. The world has evolved so much and this industry is too over saturated and people are more discerning about how they spend money these days. It’s a shame since I really enjoy what I do and have a passion for pleasing men through escorting. But I also know that a lot of independent self employed business owners are struggling at the moment.

I do tour as well but have even found that to be less reliable this year compared to last year. I really don’t like how the economy is going at the moment and it seems to have got worse with this new government.

Nevertheless, I do also believe that the current trajectory can improve.

Well said. I have been escorting for a number of years now and it is sad to see how the business has changed so much over the years.

All industries change - I remember when we could only advertise in newspapers and there were no pictures (and before that no mobile phones, although that's before even my time). We have to adapt, just like everyone else.

The notion that a new government can fix fifteen years of systematic destruction to a countries economy and public services in three months is making me 🤣. Yes, and we should all definitely be millionaires by Christmas, but that all belongs on sites other than this one, since it's nothing to do with sex work.

I'm wondering if the people finding it much tougher are mostly relying on AW? One I have definitely noticed is that even fewer punters are coming from there since they started fucking about with the site, even when it's working properly.

I'm seriously considering civvy life.

For the first time in 10 years of escorting, I'm actually 3 days late on my rent. I'm £500 short. I'm hoping I can get it by Saturday, but I'm not certain. I have really had to cut back, and extend my working hours make myself avalible 24 hrs a day, and I'm still struggling. This economy is really bad.
