I've been thinking that for a while now, I've noticed the worse the media make it the quieter it becomes...

It's SO slow for me as I'm starting afresh with a new profile, and in London so it's hard to get noticed without offering BB in an alley behind Tesco for ?20...but I've started camming (very amusing) which is keeping moi busy. But the ammount of emails I used to get, compared to what I get now (2 today..2!!) is insane.

I think it is the economy,and the media hype - but people are genuinely struggling to just pay their utilities, run their car and afford child care. There's a division of wealth in this country that's so disproportinate it's shocking. I'm lucky as I only have little old me to support (and once I have tea I need nowt else), but my heart genuinely goes out to anyone trying to support a family as I just would not be able to do it on anything less than ?30-40k a year - it's impossible to have a good standard of living on anything less. It all just adds to my dislike of David Cameron - everytime I see him on the news I just think 'You posh twat, if it wasn't for you and Gideon O. I'd be rolling around on a bed of ?20 notes being done up the bum'. Ho-Hum, it is making me feel a bit insecure though - I keep thinking 'If I was thinner I'd get more bookings', which is never a good head-space to be in...because my dinner usually ends up down the loo when I go there...

Anyways, have lots of replies from minimum wage slave jobs, which will keep me ticking over and off the streets!Stay well everyone xx

i know that there are people struggling but i do wonder how they prioritise things money wise  i.e.  were all so used to having everything we want, that if we dont have the latest phones, pcs  holidays abroad then  we feel poor  but were not really poor in the sense that places like africa and india are poor.   To me poor is living somewhere where you dont have access to  fresh water , and a hot meal each day and medical care   

i just think that people have far higher expectations in this day and age  -   i mean i go out on the weekends with my dogs to the local pubs and bars restaurants  and they are always packed out with people eating and drinking having meals  which is not cheap to do 

  On a recent holiday that i had to Turkey the plane was full up - no empty seats , the hotel that my niece and i were in was full up, no spare rooms,  every one there in the hotel had spent around between  ?1000 - ?1200 each for the holiday plus spending money
 So it amazes sometimes when i read that the  this country is so skint and broke  Most of them were parents with 2 +Kids so had spent around 4-5 k for a two week holiday in the school period   

Im just glad that we do live in the uk where we do get free education, free healthcare, and a more than generous benefit system,  we dont have dictators ( yet) we can call our prime minsters  assholes and  w....kers   and we dont get dragged of by the secret police and murdered  or tortured 
  Ok i know it dosnt help to pay the bills but we are pretty lucky to live in GB compared to other countries where  if you dont have any money you really do starve and


True, we are so lucky to live in a first world country (and I'd forgotten so am thanking my lucky stars, thanks for the reminder!), but it is relative to where you live. With rent, council tax, child care, the cost of 'free' education and of running a car - it's easy to see how some people are just managing to stay afloat, there was an amazing article on being part of the working poverty class (where people's jobs are only managing to cover the basics) I'll see if I can find it.

You do have a long standing reputation as being a good escort who provides what she says she provides, and I think that stands to you - but I've just spent the past half hour sucking on a dildo on webcam to pay to be featured - so with a bit of work hopefully I'll buil up my rep too!x

I seem to have stumbled on the way to have your phone ring of the hook.  Be ill.  I've not been feeling too good the last few days and the phone calls and e-mails have just flooded in.  I had 23 missed calls this afternoon when I fell asleep for a couple of hours.

Makes me wish I was working, but I feel as rough as a bears arse, and probably look worse.  And sods law as soon as I feel better the phone will go back to normal.  It's like some sort of punter sixth sense, they only call when you can't answer.

Hopefully things will pick up as there have been some positive reports in the papers about things picking up in the economy, so fingers crossed it trickles down to us.

I do find it a lot busier when I tour, my area is dead and the only reason I do okay is because I am only here about  fifty percent of the time, so my clients are condensed into a smaller time frame.

Paris, I agree it's strange to hear people say they have no money and then next thing you know they're going of on holiday to a nice place with the whole family.  And clients who say they have no money, but go out with their mates clubbing/pubbing every weekend.  I know I'm old and haven't been clubbing or years, but I'm sure it's not gotten any cheaper. 

On the other hand there are people who are genuinely struggling to make ends meet and not just doing the Monty Python 'we were so poor' thing.  (Really showing my age now).

Right, I think I am going to work closer to home (I use hotels) and offer a little discount tomorrow, things may or may not go well. But you never know
