I got really busy once the easter holidays were over, but it has slowed down considerably  since the football finals started last week. I went on an outcall yesterday and had to sit for 15 minutes infront of the TV because the game was not over yet (he's a long time regular of mine so it's fine) Jeeez. There's a huge game this upcoming Saturday (meaning: I'm taking the day off  ???) and next week is going to be the same thing.

 ??? Is anybody's work being affected by the futbol (or it's just me lol)?
My work is always affected by the footie because I love it! I arrange tours and bookings around matches and I've also had several bookings that included going to a match.
I mention football quite a lot on my blog and of course guys like it because they know they can chat to me about it so it's win win for me!

I dont find the football or races etc affect my bookings. on days when there are matches etc i go shopping in town thinking no one will book in and always get a call for a booking x
Sometimes it's not the youngest or the richest clients you want or the ones you have most in common with.

For me the perfect partner is one where I never have to be myself.

I can't believe how quiet it's been.
I know I live in a semi rural area and guys round here are just not prepared to travel much more than 15-20 miles, but I can't believe I've seen them all and/or seen 'em all off!

Yes, I have my reg's but I'm sensing that even a few of them are restless for 'fresh meat'.(apologies for the turn of phrase) It's quiet for most of us I think... but does there come a time when you wonder if you've been put on the back burner for the tidal wave of fresh 'up and coming' escorts?
Please tell me I'm just paranoid :-\

you are being paranoid. i think everyone is struggling atm, especially with another recession!! and as i've mentioned in a previous post there are  alot of girls lowering their prices stupidly stupidly STUPIDLY cheap! :/ x

I think it can be quite true. It's well known that punters like a fresh new girl on the block, but then theb does being well established or having great feedback count for nothing? I really hope not.

I've had less bookings than usual this week, but that's also partly because I'm being particularly choosy at the moment, tending to stick to regulars I know, plus it suits me to be seeing fewer new clients because I have something important going on in my private life. So I'm not worried.

 ive just moved back down south, so i thought id be quite busy being new in the area, but no! ive done 4 maybe 5 jobs in 2 weeks, (mainly because of decorating and getting settled i must add) but i think its quiet everywhere!

friends back up north are saying they have been dead. Ive never really had regulars, the guys i used to see, just did the rounds with all wg's in the area, so i saw them maybe once a month, twice tops, so i never called them regulars lol

dead.

I chalked it up to the long weekend. It did pick up a little but I gotta start relying more on webcam. The domming is very very slow. All I need is two a week. not getting it. People book, but no one shows.

It's quiet on cam as well as escorting at the moment, I displayed my number on AW today as I fancied getting a few in before I go away for the weekend and I've had one call so far and wasn't able to take that as I was in the local shop picking up milk!  ::) If my number isn't displayed then I usually get loads of calls, clearly from other ads, I give up! LOL! Had one cancel today (with plenty of notice) but another booked in but that's it so far and only had one appointment this week so far so not particularly happy! Ho hum! Fingers crossed things start picking up again soon for everyone!

Not sure things will be getting much better any time soon tbh. We're in a double dip recession and people are losing their jobs or scared of losing their jobs, plus there are many  more of us competing for a diminishing client base.

I'm just thankful I have the means to earn a living at the moment. There are many who aren't so fortunate, though I'd be lying if I didn't say I've been struggling recently.
For various reasons I lost my mojo for a while and felt burnt out so didn't answer the phone or take many bookings.
I feel better now, but it's not easy to catch up with that lost income whereas in the past it wouldn't have been a problem.

I'm sorry to sound like the harbinger of doom, but it's reality. (Which doesn't of course mean that there aren't still plenty of men out there with the desire and  means to book us, just that it's tougher).

 i will agree that this year its been shit  -  normally i am pretty much flat out even when i work at home  and often turn away a fair amount of  work 
i have done three tours so far this year and they have been CRAP for me  apart from one which was really a working holiday in the sunshine to cheer me up  ;D

 Yes i covered my overheads of touring
 Yes i made a profit 
 No it was fuck all like it was this time last year when i was rolling in it   ( im still rolling in it just that its a harder slog  :FF )
 
 When doing my sums I made  more money when i was working from my flat in Bristol this year than what i did from the last 3 tours as at home i have minimal overheads to work from my flat as its paid for also i dont work long hours  i can work 11 -7pm monday to friday weekends go in and see a few regs and evenings if i get a evening appointment i can easily slip back over to the flat to do appointments 

Thankfully it looks like my tour that im doing now is back to normal so far for me  ( fingers crossed)

One of the place that i visit it used to be fabulous last August i spent 9 days there working and never did less than 800 a day every single day  it was heaving
 There recently and a few ladies that i know all agreed that its was shit compared to the previous year and this is a realtivly weathly place with more than a few millionaires with money to spend
     Sadly now you have loads of girls  charging next to nothing   clients still ring me and ask when im coming back but its a big never ever from me unless things change which i dont see happening any time soon

Its pretty much the same all over the place  and i would rather work at home and money wise and time wise make just as much and sleep in my own bed at night
im now picking my tours very carefully not wasting my money on going to places unless i feel thats it really really worth the effort and the expenses 
 
i actually dont think it will get any better i think it will get worse 

thats my 10 pence worth

Paris, I feel exactly the same way. Money is becoming harder to roll in. And I know it's not me.

 im a grafter and i work flat out ( most of the time ) so i know that when im quieter than usual its probably dire out there
but take heart  im sure there are threads on here saying exactly the same thing several years ago 
the business goes up and down like a mans cock  or the interest rates  something we have very little control over
