Well I plan on penny pinching and budgeting over the next few months anyway as I am no longer touring either but fingers crossed.

Yeah, you used to be able to depend on megabucks when you toured but Ive heard girls say that touring isnt what is used to be either. 

My way of looking at it is, if I cant make 3 times or thereabouts of what I would be earning at home then I dont want to go to all the bother of touring.  If Im only gonna make the same at the end of the day then I am happy having some ME time for myself.

I actually had a good day today- so its werid how it pans out!
Got a decent day tomorrow too which has paid off for Cardiff's disaster, at least i managed to get a refund for the 2nd night. I didn't even get a phone call from anybody in Cardiff even though it stated I was on tour there! (presumed some clients would have seen my profile and saved my number until the day!)

I don't webcam or do phonechat- think I would be useless at it lol.
Going to do London (Edgeware road) next week and a shot at Bristol and see where that gets me. My limited availibility in Reading seems to be helping- however I find myself having to update my profile constantly to keep me on the first page, because there are so many girls here!!

I share my work flat with another girl and of late she has been struggling to get an hour a day!! She's 34 slim attractive with a good reputation but even her regulars arent coming right now.  touch wood my phone has still been ringing, I don't know how I would cope without anything. No one likes digging into savings. xx

Here we go, good example of people trying to get money for Xmas...over 600 cammers online at one point this evening. That's twice as much as the same time last week. Their earnings will hit the bank just before Xmas. I fully expect this to be the same, or at least half as much again, in late Jan/early Feb.

I find this really odd, is it just me, or is no one else not really in need ie: loads of extra money for Xmas? I will likely buy a present for 4 people at the most (2 sisters, mum and boyfriend, lol), and dont plan on it costing me more than ?200, which I could earn in a day. And maybe an extra ?100 for taxis and to get a bit of booze in. I suppose if you have children it may be different though.

Wonder how many cam viewers there were online? I havnt been camming lately, as I imagine its dead as a doornail

We live in a material age, parents (generalising, not all) throw money/goods at children to show how much they love them. If they can't get the latest whatever, whatever and whatever, little Johnny will think his parents don't love him (or so they think)...or if they can't get the latest whatever, whatever and whatever, then they're failing as parents.

This is why people get temp jobs, sell/pawn jewellery, turn to escorting at Xmas. They can be frugal all year, but getting into debt or splashing out at Xmas is one luxury many people allow themselves.

Two guys want me on the same day that I don't usually work.  :FF

Saw a guy a while ago who wants to haggle on price, and won't just take a shorter session... ::)

Another guy wants to pay me a 2 hour rate for a 3 hour session, the thing is last time I was paid for an hour and a half and in and out within 15. I've said no to the reduced fee, but now wondering if I should have gone for it. I don't give cash back by the way! :D

 :o :o :o :o :o

Four Presents, I wish ............................... no I dont, I wouldnt change my family for anything.  :D  They are my world.

I have four children; their 4 partners/husbands; 4 grandchildren; Sister. 

Im lucky I started early this year and I have most of mine in.  I dont think there will be many that only have four people to buy for though. 


Edit :  Sorry I derailed thread.  Maybe should be moved for a place of its own.  Up to you Amy.  I was just so shocked someone just had four presents to buy.


Back on topic please.  Apologies again.

Off topic again: I have no one to buy presents for :(  Well at least I get to save money that way.

Re: slow/quiet, things have really picked up for me since yesterday afternoon, my email/phone's been choc-a-block with enquiries and I have so many booking requests for next 2 wks I'm struggling to fit them all in ... must be for the fact that by then they'll have been paid and are not wasting any time in buying themselves a nice treat:)  Hope it stays fairly busy cos I'm down to my last pennies here.

Yes Melissa, you will find a significant difference from 28th of the month for about two weeks most months.  The week on the run up to the 28th is usually dire.  :(

Good to see you have a lot of bookings to sort out, fingers crossed all goes well with them but remember not to take any crap from them if they start to mess you about.  Forget about losing such and such an amount for if they are disrespectful on the phone or try messing you about on the phone they will do the same during a booking thats if they actually show.  Stand by your spidey senses if you think one is a TW for they usually are when they give you this vibe. 

All the best with your bookings.

As a little addendum, please make sure if you can (by voice recognition) that callers are legit and not another WG in your area setting you up so that you will refuse other bookings.  This happens a lot when a girl feels threatened by a newbie.  They will give their bookings a discount if they phone up another girl to make a booking.  Then not show.   :(

Hi Lady_Lust_XXX, thanks for your advice.  I already knew that there was a huge difference between end of month/pay day but I've never seen such a dramatic change practically overnight.

Thanks for your input re: TW's, I'm not a newbie so trust me I don't take any crap from anyone, oh no. Quite the opposite.  I know the ins and outs pretty well by now, and as a result have had nothing but absolutely darling, polite, professional, nice guys from the time I started - I've been escorting on and off since 20 years ago!

Haven't had a single dodgy or rude guy, and I thank my lucky stars for that. Haven't had a single no-show either (although expecting one will happen eventually). Must be a certain vibe I give out - that I don't take any shit ! ha ha

I'm pretty confident about my upcoming bookings, it's very unusual that guys pull out, maybe 1 out of 10, I don't get cancellations or people messing me about.

I have a huge, enormous TW spidey sense, so they don't get anywhere with me, I stop them dead in their tracks before they know even what's hit them.

Thanks again for your advice ! :)

Hope business looking good for you too :)

Apologies for rambling and going off-topic !!

I have less than 10 presents to buy for as no point buying for the part of family whose distant. Just like they wouldn't for me. So can understand the 4 present thing which is completely fine. I'm saving as much as can without going in the red.  Every body will have different circumstances, so try not to worry.
