Title: Working at Christmas?
Post by: pandora on 17 December 2008, 10:07:26 am
Morning ladies, being my first year of escorting I have not worked through the holiday season before.  I have been very busy so far in December.  Is there much call for work on 25th, 26th and generally through the Christmas break?

Do you amend your rates?

I am not religious so it is just another day to me, and it would be nice to have some fun instead of watching dreary TV repeats.

For the first time last year I left the phone on on Christmas and Boxing Days. Like yourself I'm not particularly religious and it's just another day to me. My family was away and I was on my own for two weeks. So I thought I might as well work.
Mostly a waste of time. The phone did ring on Christmas Day, a few times. One of them a guy wanting an overnight as his family was away. He asked me to find out taxi fares etc. to a hotel near him, whilst he would find out the price of said hotel, where we could eat, all that jazz. He then said he'd call at 5pm when he had all the details. Haven't heard from him since.

In the process I turned down another booking because of the prospect of an overnight. Which, thank goodness he rebooked later on in the week.

So I think nah! Not worth the hassle. I'm going back to what I did before and just switching off my phone, and put it back on on the 27th.

The answer was that there was plenty of demand - but all outcalls as they obviously had been drinking.  I had a couple of christmas drinks so hey ho - couldnt drive also.  Next year I wont bother.  Had a nice Christmas anyway.

I got a few missed calls on my phone yesterday, despite my announcement on my front page that I'm only available from the 28th and throughout the New Year, with dates and details on my blog, with an arrow pointing them to it.
I got a voicemail at 10.15pm asking for a midnight outcall. Yeah, watch me get out of my pj's, go out into the freezing cold with ice on the road cos somebody fancies a shag on Boxing Day, despite my saying that I wouldn't be available.

Even on a normal day I wouldn't see anybody at that time of night, especially somebody I hadn't met before. The holidays moreso, as you say, people have had a couple of drinks. Not a situation I would readily put myself in.

It's worked out this year that I'm going to be on my own until 5pm.

Am tempted to work.

Has anybody on here done that?

Christmas day is surprisingly a busy day for us ladies. I worked last year at a party finishing at 10am Christmas Eve then I had a job that night and on Christmas day I worked that evening seeing 7 guys. I put my prices up to time and a half :D I had fun at the party dressed in my Elf outfit but I left the Christmas night jobs feeling a bit down (too much of a softie feeling compassion for these men seeking comfort away from their families). Anyway, it's a good little earner.

Compared to:

Trying to cook Christmas Dinner for 14 people who all think they are Gordon bloody Ramsey
Negotiating an armed truce for the day between various factions of the family who hate each other
Having my stick thin SIL insist on white turkey meat and salad for dinner while 'helpfully' informing me of how many calories there are on my plate
Having to be the one to tell the kids its ok to not eat their sprouts but not ok to throw them at the patio windows just to watch them slide down because my Other Half is drunk and thinks its hilarious (last year!)
Co-ordinating all the Sky Recordings because god forbid anyone miss a single episode of anything their life revolves around which I wouldnt hear the end of for a whole year
Pretending to look delighted when opening yet another ***** Yardley Gift set containing Lily of the Valley talc from my MIL
Stopping the dogs from eating the Christmas ornaments
Stopping the kids from killing each other
Trying to remove discarded sellotape from the cat without having my face scratched off
and
Having to bite my lip when being accused of lacking in Christmas Spirit because I refuse to participate in the 14th game of Wii Sports in favour of slumping in front of the TV with a Gin and Tonic in a pint glass

I think working sounds like a great idea. Where do I sign up?

You be aware on Xmas Day and Boxing day it is unlikely to be an incall.  It is lonely men who have had a drink so its outcalls all the way.  That is what I found over the last three xmases.  So if you are going to work, no drinking.

I plan on working this year (if there are any takers)!  I have quite a few friends nearby who are doing Christmas meals, and I can pop in whenever I like at various friends places for some festivities and then pop out again for bookings. 

Plan on getting some silly Christmas hat and knickers.  Ho ho ho!  :D

Yes I'm gonna get a sexy Santa outfit! But if its all outcalls thats no good to me as I don't drive. I've got a flexible invite on the day so guess I'll just have to see if I get any incalls or (very) local outcalls.
Title: Re: Working at Christmas?
Post by: kimba on 10 December 2011, 09:04:11 am
Yep, I am definately working throughout and finding that most of my regulars are interested in seeing me either on the day itself or over the xmas period to 'treat themselves'.
 It is one of the most lucrative times of year for outcall Escorts.. ( hmm, perhaps I should charge double time like Taxi-drivers? )   ;)
A mid-afternoon booking last xmas day, followed by an overnight somewhere else meant that I earned more that day than I would in a week normally  :D

I was thinking about working Xmas Day this year. Thought it would be really unusual, but apparently not if this thread is anything to go by. I'd been thinking of charging time and a half as well, glad to know it's worked for others.

Having just lost my Mum, Xmas is going to be a tough day to get through whatever I do :'(. Think doing something totally different would be easier than trying to put a brave face on during the usual festivities.

I'd like to echo Natalie's sentiments, CeCe - Wish there was something I could say to help.  Working could very well take your mind off things at Christmas, but please look after yourself first and foremost at this time.

My family are demanding my presence this Christmas, which is unusual but some of them are going through a tough time, so won't be able to work for a week and a bit while I'm out of the city.  I want to work but if the weather closes in and I don't make it back home I've had other plans made for me by a relative in the city.  Ah, there's always next Christmas if I'm still escorting then!

Post by: CeCe on 11 December 2011, 09:52:10 pm
Thanks Natalie and Holly. It's sad, she was far too young, but it's one of those things you just have to accept and deal with. Christmas was always going to be the hardest time, boy will I be glad when this one's over. Still having a bit of extra cash wouldn't hurt. I'm glad I've read this thread because it's helped me decide to try working after all, and it's good to have a focus for a time I was dreading.

I can absolutely empathise CeCe,  bad anniversaries are always awful but doubly so at a festive time when everyone is happy and cheerful (or expected to be).  I find it definately helps to be busy.  Personally for me November is awful for similar reasons, and I'm always so glad when December arrives.

I am in two minds whether to work. We will have a family Xmas at my mum's during the day but would like to work at night,  'cept there's no gaurentee of when I'll get away and it means not imbibing any of my sister in law's frankly lethal cocktails (score) or champagne (poo).  I'd like an over nighter starting late, Hell, I'll even provide the bubbles. It'll be an incentive not to stuff myself till I pass out in a food coma during the day!

I'm another who welcomes the time to sit on my backside and do nothing.

Also remember what works for one person in one area may not work for another in another area so although you may be willing to work there may just not be the calls, so be prepared but dont be let down if it doesnt work out the way you want it.

Kylie, did you try from the Search box (http://www.saafe.info/main/index.php?action=search), or just from this thread? I got nine pages of results when I tried it, but you do need to come out of the thread first.

To the OP, Lady Lust is right - this has been done to death and if you try searching from the link above you should find plenty of info. I don't think one day that isn't particularly busy warrants six months forward planning unless you're thinking of touring somewhere, but if you're really wanting to organise things now then there are plenty of past discussions to help.

Post by: Dani on 04 June 2012, 03:53:45 pm
What they all said before me plus no one can tell if you're going to be busy or not.  It depends a lot on what area you are in, if you have a lot of regulars who will want to see you at this time, if your prices are right for you and the area, how many clients in your area see girls at xmas and have the extra money to spare etc etc etc.  There is no way anyone can answer for you.  I could tell you that xmas is one of my busiest times but that will not help you in deciding as we are all different and work differently and have a varying number of regulars and new clients each month.

Its the old how long is a piece of string question

I found that the whole of December was really busy and especially in the last week or so before Christmas.  It quietened down quite a bit in January.  February and March have been pretty dire, aside from my regulars.

Posting links to search results doesn't work, so it's as well to check.

I have already merged this thread with an older but not too archaic one discussing the same topic, and whilst I think we all agree that it's best to search for topics which are likely to have been covered before prior to starting a new thread, constantly stating this in every time an unwary poster does so (and in a not particularly friendly, pleasant or helpful way; I have removed one similar post from this thread already) without checking is getting as repetitive as the problem.

It's not the crime of the century, and the topic was clear enough from the title - if you think a thread is likely to irritate you, best to just ignore it.

I've never actually worked on Christmas day but I have noticed it's very much like a weekend in that there are more last minute drunken enquiries. Have had some very slurry voicemails left on Christmas Day in the past, asking about my availability. Also had a guy I'd seen once previously try to persuade me to go visit him, despite the fact I had told him I had family coming over for a meal. When I said "No I'm not available" he acted as if I was being unreasonable and kept phoning and sending texts. I then did what I should have done in the first place which was turn the phone off and put it in a drawer.

I'm working today but I've raised my prices quite a bit. Although, it's very quiet so far with only one enquiry.  I'm not really expecting anything to be honest.  Anything will be a bonus as I'm only pottering around at home and stuffing my face anyway  ;D

I know you are not doing much today but raising your prices by "quite a bit" may be the reason you are not getting many enquiries.  I think we had a discussion about this last year and most said they were keeping prices the same.  (I dont work on either day so just passing on the info) but if you want to make something might be worth reconsidering.

Of course they wouldnt.  They are usually dumbfounded and cant answer.

I know what you mean Clarabella.  I always like weekends to myself and if guys question why I always take it off my reply is  "well if you are working on a Saturday you would expect time and a half or for Sunday double time" .... would you like to pay me time and a half or double time for my services. Of course they wouldnt.  They are usually dumbfounded and cant answer.

Have a good day whatever you do.

Wow that's a good one! ;D Think I'll be using it from now on... Didn't work myself, as I'm based in London but my mum is up North. Put the work phone on silent and removed the number from AW- still managed to get stupid amount of calls. Guess its from Viva Street, but the ad must be pages  behind.. Kinda wish I had the option to work, although who's to say they weren't TWs?.. Although its nice to have a proper break without feeling bad about potential lost bookings for once!

how many of the ladies will work over Christmas I personally don't bother to celebrate but wondered if other ladies work  on the actual holiday days?

Post by: RR on 09 December 2013, 12:12:09 pm
I offered bookings on the day when I was working before and didn't get anything besides timewasters.

I shan't be working on the 25th, I've got plans, but I plan to work up to the 24th before I drive out for Xmas Eve/Day.

I plan to work in the week in between then and New Year. May as well exploit the cash when its going around to prepare for Feb and their credit card bills eh? Better in my savings account than elsewhere ;D

I've never worked Christmas myself but I've read on here that the majority of guys who do call want outcalls because they have been drinking and can't drive  :( so be careful ladies.

I will be working evenings. I'm not too sure about Christmas Day evening yet. I normally work evenings anyway bc I have a baby I do activities with them, catch up with friends and family and 'normal life' stuff during the day.
Title: Re: Working at Christmas?
Post by: meetingdiversity on 11 December 2013, 10:23:55 pm
The answer was that there was plenty of demand - but all outcalls as they obviously had been drinking.  I had a couple of christmas drinks so hey ho - couldnt drive also.  Next year I wont bother.  Had a nice Christmas anyway.

Last Xmas a few drunks nothing worth being available for many spend with family. Well the decent ones.

Well the Samaritans, 999 services, lawyers, social services, taxi drivers etc still work on such days and for doing so they would expect to receive AT LEAST DOUBLE PAY

 Im not saying in any way anyone should work when they dont want to but for those that want to, Im sure in the right location and during reasonable hours of the day they would make a killing.
Title: Re: Working at Christmas?
Post by: amy on 11 December 2013, 11:57:30 pm
Well Samaritans listeners may well get double pay but it's pretty academic when double nothing is nothing :).

I've only had a few days off the last couple of years and last year I was home late on the 23rd just to be flying out again on the 27th so this year I'm having a decent break. I might start considering bookings from the weekend after if I'm getting bored, but otherwise my phone is going to be off and the whore drawer staying firmly shut until the New Year :D.

Yes of course the Samaritans are a charity  :-[ so they do it out of the goodness of their hearts bless em.

Xmas being a very lonely period for many people so doing SW may be a bit callous but some perhaps some people may appreciate the company ( even if its paid for?). I dunno but Im looking forward to being merry with my family.

So tempted to work Christmas night as I tend to get a bit bored of family festivities by then. Only problem is with not driving and only being able to offer out calls on the day not sure whether I want to spend TRIPLE on taxi fares. Do any ladies put up their Christmas day prices?

Hi,
I just wondered whether anyone actually works over the Christmas period, ie Christmas day, boxing day? Intrigued as to whether there is any business at all these days? I'm planning to finish on Tuesday next week till January. I'm not even sure it's worth being available next week at all?

I'm going to be available all over Christmas except for Christmas day. I only work part time during the day so its no hardship I usually have a brilliant time between Christmas and New Year when guys are off work and can steal an hour away from home.
Title: Re: Working at Christmas?
Post by: Lady_Lust_XXX on 17 December 2014, 07:36:31 pm
From what Ive heard over the years it is Outcalls that are more popular as guys want to have a few bevvies before they set themselves us with the local prossie.

I cant remember if girls offer these services with a premium for the time of year but there will always be girls who dont charge extra.  On saying that if you are not a driver you will be charged extra for taxis on Christmas Day to get to bookings. 

You got to figure out if its worth the hassle or not.

Apart from the 24th, 25th & the 1st I will be working as normal, although for some of the areas I cover I might have to reduce when I am available to as the buses will probably be running a reduced service.

I could actually do with one or two jobs before christmas just for last minute bits and pieces but had my Implant changed yesterday so now my arm is killing me.

I accidentally had myself down on AW as available on xmas day coz of stupid 2 week set up thing ... i was asked by 1 regular for a booking and had an enquiry after i had changed it to unavailable as well.
The reg who asked to book 4 xmas is such a sweet gent i actually felt bad saying I wasnt going to b available! I actually think he wud hav been rly nice gent 2 spend some time with on xmas rather than him being on his own :( aw i did feel bad! But i will b happy at home wv fam and friends so its arite 4 me...
I dnt think working xmas wud b to bad tho if i wasnt seeing family...i reckon clients must surely b feeling festive 2 hav a nice lady on xmas day!? Might get pressies!? Lol
Have a good one whatever u do make sure u take some time 2 enjoy urself and chill...cz it is christmas after all!

Due to a family crisis last year I was unable to work December so have no knowledge of how it can be. I have been asked by a couple of regs already what my availability will be over the festive period. I am a bit surprised to be honest to have enquiries so early. They have asked about Christmas week in particular. Does it get busy this week or December in general? Beings regs I will book them this far in advance, as I will see them a few times before then. What's December like? I am quite excited now, think I will get some mince pies in.

I was moderately busy December 20-30th last year. Last booking before Christmas Day was 23rd, and first after was 27th. Saw two clients on the 30th, but none on new year's eve. Then first client this year was on January 2nd.

I was super busy just before Chistmas on the 23-24th and again just before New Years Eve on the 29-30th. Nobody on the 25th, 31st, and 1st. I thought non-christians will be interested on 25 but no.

Hi ladies,
This will be my first Christmas as a WG and aside from Christmas day, I'm pretty much free, so I'm wondering what everyone's view is of whether or not it's worth it to work over the Christmas period? If so, would you say it's normal hourly rate or not? 
Title: Re: Working at Christmas?
Post by: britisheve123 on 20 December 2015, 09:02:45 pm
Last year Lois I was really busy. I made my rent in 3 days between the 23-26th.

It makes me wish I was working this year but instead I have my normal job working xmas eve and boxing day and pays rubbish! I only keep it to keep a level of normality and stability in my life. Plus I'm starting escorting in January again after a much needed 6 month break.

But Yeh, in my experience xmas time is lucrative- go for it!


Title: Re: Working at Christmas?
Post by: Adele on 20 December 2015, 10:53:47 pm
I'm gonna be working on 26th, as I'm free anyway and am not doing anything special (probably New Year's Eve as well).
I'll be charging more than usual, and see what they'll say (had to drop my rates recently, I'd like to charge those previous rates during the holidays).
I think it'll be quite lucrative, lots of lonely people during Christmas - sure made a lot camming last year.

I am working over Xmas; I am simply not doing Christmas this year since I lost someone dear to me this year and it doesn't feel right.  The people that matter understand.

Since the area I will be in has low prices generally I'm not putting mine up...as mine are therefore high anyway.

I put my AW profile as available today and woke up this morning with loads of TW texts. I am just crying here. I don't know what to do. i don't want to go in but I have to atleast try make my money back. Some people are saying it's busy some are saying it is shit. I thought I would give it a go to make a little extra cash for Christmas. Sigh. This was a mistake . :( I always go for the cheapest rate that is non refundable as I am so sure at the time that I will go. But %90 of the time I change my mind. I should really start purchasing the easy cancellation rate instead. Anyone know if you purchase the easy cancellation rate you get some money back or something? say if the hotel costs ?80 but the easy cancellation rate is ?100. do get your ?20 back if you show up or not? I'm just tempted to not go and let the hotel keep the money to be honest. Just had a texts from a wanker wanting fun for ?20 :-[ I don't think I can go in to work ladies. I need strength and motivation and right now, I don't have it. :'(

Hey babe,

I don't wanna drag you down or anything but if you are not feeling it and loads of timewasters then just go, no point in staying bored and getting pissed off,  I don't think the hotel will refund you, I know I lost my money when I walked out after booking an hotel for 3 days even though I was there for 4hrs, just wasn't feeling it, but it's up to you .X

I always book the free cancellation rate cos you never know what's going to happen nearer the time - being unwell, having zero interest etc... but if the cheaper non-refundable rate is still there 1-3 days before and I'm certain I'm going I will cancel the flexible rate and book that one instead. Sometimes I stick with the free cancellation rate as just don't know until the day whether I'm going or not. Annoying at having to pay a higher rate but worth it compared to losing the whole amount if I end up not going!

Booked the free cancelation pay later  which probably added another 40 onto the tour but shit happens and guaranteed of I didn't do it this way, that would be the time I wouldn't be able to go.

Tomorrow all my family are going to my sisters house from 1pm onwards but I'll depart about 4pm to get ready for another overnight with a regular. I don't mind, ?500 for 1-2 rounds of sex, drinking, socialising/cuddling with nice gents, can't miss out on easy money.

Some twat has put in a booking request for this afternoon. I don't have "Available Today" on or anything. Usually when I get a booking request out of the blue I will contact them and explain that I'm not working or something. I'm not going to bother with this one.

I have a booking - at the other end of London. I'm thinking of boris biking it there and walking back (3 hour stroll!) I cannot justify the cab fare... and my account is empty so no uber.  :FF

Have one this evening. But just had a complete dick of a TW. He confirmed late, so I said he'd have to wait, then when he said he'd arrived I gave address, as per usual when all of a sudden he started sexting saying he 'needed to know what I was wearing so he could get hard for me' etc.

I immediately cancelled as I doubted he was even near, but the sexting alone meant a big no. I blocked him & upon looking at the blocked texts it was clear he couldn't believe I'd cancelled and hilariously tried to make me jealous by saying he'd seen a much younger escort earlier with big boobs, tight pussy, OWO for half the price. ...

Err even if true, being older doesn't make me desperate, it makes me more choosy! I just let him text away and didn't respond.

On reflection when he confirmed so late I should've cancelled then. Sometimes I think I'm too strict and give the benefit of the doubt and he was polite on the phone...oh well!

I'm dithering over doing a booking this evening. He's in his 20s and white, but speaks 'street'. Asked a lot of questions and didn't seem to know much about me. Claims to have a 10" dick...

He's got to confirm by 6.15. If he does, think I might claim over-indulgence in Christmas dinner and ask for a raincheck...

A booking with a regular agreed to pay my normal taxi fare tomorrow but it's fare and a half, some thing I'm not prepared to pay out of my hourly out call fee. I might just only do local out calls until the new year or just stick with in calls.  Surprisingly after having to turn my phone on for a minute there were many texts from regulars..

Oh well.... Back to normal tomorrow it should be fun.

I had reason to be in London yesterday and was in hotel from 530. Decided to work but only because I was there anyway.

The volume of calls were higher than the whole of last month put together. I was only wanting to see one or two but with the calls I thought I was in for a busy night.

Told all of them just to call when on way. No appointment needed.

Only ONE actually turned up.

Will work next Xmas because doing the same project again during the day but won't depend on the money lol.

Did they really think I would be playing text tennis with them on Christmas day?I think they really believe we don't do things like have Christmas day with the family.Some folk assume we don't have any sort of life outside of bookings.I found this quite creepy to be honest.

It's just one of those days people get drunk so they start texting women. I'm expecting a huge backlog on my work phone from new years too it's kind of annoying having to switch it on for work bookings and find I have 40 texts of utter crap.  Ranging from "Merry Christmas babe wish u were here with me x" to "How much to piss in your mouth?" aren't they with family at this time having dinner or something? Why they feel they want to spend their time texting a prostitute I don't know.

A lot of people don't have anyone to spend Christmas with, and it's pretty heartbreaking to be honest. I get the same texts, calls etc. A polite "Not Today, back to normal on Monday" (or whatever) seems perfectly reasonable.

One of the issues I have with texting in general is an assumption (and I've done it too) that if no reply is forthcoming, then the text wasn't received. which to be fair happens all too regularly if you live in a poor reception area.

I appreciate some people are lonely but they should not make the assumption that you are going to be anywhere near your phone on Christmas day.Would the same lonely people think it ok to text a hairdresser or mechanic because they are lonely?I don't answer at all.I want nothing to do with my work on day's off.

I decided to give post-Christmas period a shot (usually I'd just take a break full-stop from 24th until 2nd of January), and it turned out to be exceptionally dead, so I don't think I'm gonna bother in 2016. Then again Norway is extremely family-oriented/clannish, so no surprises there I suppose. X-Mas celebrations tend to start on 23rd and go on until 27th, only to transition into people getting shitfaced for New Year's from 28th and onwards. ;D

I did when I worked in east London but was quite a while ago, most punters that booked were Asian probably Muslim that don't do Christmas. I had one Christmas in a white area in Essex and did hardly any.

I now always do a couple of days between Christmas and new year and make money.

I toured Glasgow almost exactly those dates last year and it was dire, way more TWs than normal. However as always what works for one doesn't for another and at the time I was aware my prices were rather high ( having lived there previously etc).

If I could just do the 30th & 31st (maybe the 1st too) would probably be fine, but then taxi's on New Years Day and probably the 2nd too will be ridiculously priced and it's like ?50-?70 on a normal day.

I'll be away working from the 27th to the 30th, and I was mad busy when I did the same last year including the Bank Holiday. That doesn't mean I will be this year or that anybody else will, though? I've been stupidly busy the last couple of days to the point that I'm taking tomorrow off because I'm knackered but other people have said it's shite where they are.

I have always worked after Boxing Day and got a couple in each day.  I will work from my home those days as I have no intention sitting around waiting in my flat for someone that may or may not turn up.  I never get time-wasters either the guys always turn up.  I did also do one on Boxing Day morning whilst waiting for guests to turn up.  I always find after the 1 January is the busiest time as well but by the middle of January until the 1 February it goes pretty quiet again.  That is probably because they have their credit card bills coming in that they have used profusely for Christmas shopping.  Things are never really normal again until March.  I have been doing this job 26 years so I speak from experience.  :FF

I usually work between Christmas and New Year.  Some years it's been quiet, and others busy.  I already have a reg booked in for 28th (providing he doesn't cancel).  Even if I just get the one booking it's still worth it for me.

Post by: MistressMorgana on 02 December 2016, 12:48:45 pm
I have deliberated over this for the past few months and have decided to do the following:

I am on tour on the week up to Christmas until the 24th and I anticipate it being busy. I am taking Christmas day and Boxing day off as I don't get home until Xmas Eve.

I was going to tour Twixtmas but I will honestly end up dead from exhaustion as I am all toured out. I am going to be available from home instead before I hit the road on the 3rd January.

I don't take enough time off and I need the rest. There is also the massive variable about whether it will be busy or not, but at least hotel prices are dirt cheap for the twixtmas period for those who are working.

It will be interesting to see how it pans out this year.
Title: Re: Working at Christmas?
Post by: amy on 02 December 2016, 04:41:56 pm
I've been working out my Christmas and New Year hours this afternoon and it's been harder than usual because of it falling over a weekend - if Christmas Day/New Years Day were midweek then I'd normally just take the whole week off but with them being Sundays I'll be working until Friday 23rd, off to London on Tuesday 27th and then travelling home on Saturday 31st. That's pretty much what I did last year, but with most people being back at work on Tuesday 4th it doesn't feel like much of a break with only three days off for each.

I may just skive the rest of that week. Or I can hang out at home and just run to my flat if regulars call, which is more likely :).

Last Xmas I toured but I can honestly say it was not worth it for me. I do not even make my money back.  But I guess it can depend on location.

Bear in mind so many family guys will not be able to punt, being involved in family Xmas duties etc, but single lonely guys will probably be more likely to book.

I can post here now since I've just sorted my Christmas page out this morning ;D. I have a page on my blog with my work dates/hours on for December and over New Year that I stick up every year and put a link to it on the front page of my site. It's really a hangover from when I was working away more and might have five different locations to list, but it's still helpful on terms of when I'm off, working late or finishing eary and so on.

Adultwork I don't bother doing anything bar putting up my London ad for the week after. My site is linked on there so if they want to know they can click.

I don't work weekends so Christmas falling on a Sunday is a bonus as it wont affect my working week.

This is exactly what I was getting at before - I don't work weekends either, but it's the opposite of a bonus for me. It's Christmas, and I want it to affect my working week :).

Negotiating an armed truce for the day between various factions of the family who hate each other
Having my stick thin SIL insist on white turkey meat and salad for dinner while 'helpfully' informing me of how many calories there are on my plate
Having to be the one to tell the kids its ok to not eat their sprouts but not ok to throw them at the patio windows just to watch them slide down because my Other Half is drunk and thinks its hilarious (last year!)
Co-ordinating all the Sky Recordings because god forbid anyone miss a single episode of anything their life revolves around which I wouldnt hear the end of for a whole year
Pretending to look delighted when opening yet another ***** Yardley Gift set containing Lily of the Valley talc from my MIL
Stopping the dogs from eating the Christmas ornaments
Stopping the kids from killing each other
Trying to remove discarded sellotape from the cat without having my face scratched off
and
Having to bite my lip when being accused of lacking in Christmas Spirit because I refuse to participate in the 14th game of Wii Sports in favour of slumping in front of the TV with a Gin and Tonic in a pint glass

I think working sounds like a great idea. Where do I sign up?

I'm seriously going to  work as much as possible over Christmas as well. Due to family stuff I've barely worked the last 2 months due to hardly being at home. I will be away at New Year as well. I have a tiny family and the stuff I'm dealing with is extended family who I ain't that close to but there is no one else.
I'm seriously thinking the 21st -28-29th as much as possible. I think I've managed to keep my semi regs happy by being home every 10 days or so but I really think if I got a decent offer for Christmas day I would consider it. Is that sad? But Christmas doesn't mean that much to me. I have good mates that I could go to but I'm not that fussed. And I need to earn and I have some single older men who seem to be on their own. I don't think I will tout for business but if I'm asked. I will consider.

I'm tempted to put it up to time and a half for NYE and NYD but is that madness? Worried I'll not get any work doing that, but a lot of other services put their rates up on days like that.

I'm not. Thing is there will be less work even at normal rates since so many guys will not be able to punt due to family commitments. That's what I've found the last few years and I've worked nearly every festive season.

This is taking into account that many EE girls will be off home for Xmas.

The only reason I'll put rates up is if my costs increase - so if I need to do an outcall on NYE or NYD then I think charging a bit extra for travel would be okay.

I think being self employed, if I don't want to work NYD then I just won't, so charging extra on the basis that I'd have to pay myself double time (which is the usual rationale for charging extra on bank hols) I don't think is going to wash.

I think if I wanted to do that I'd probably put myself as not available on NYD but leave my phone on, and then say "Well, I'm not officially working today, but if you make it worth my while..."

Yes good point re outcalls. I tend to say I don't do them on days without public transport. Annoyingly that's the times I get asked for outcalls! I guess more people alone at home after seeing family etc having time on their hands. Generally my business is over 95% incall.

Yes me too, always seemed to get asked on Sunday nights etc! The location I'll be in at Xmas/NY has Uber so I'll consider doing outcalls if I can get there easily.

I'm just curious on which basis you think they are gonna all go home for Xmas? A couple I know of were gone home and already back.  Labour controlled by ee gangs won't care if girls wanted to go home for Xmas or not.

I was talking about the Indie EE girls sorry if that wasn't clear. The past couple of years during the festive period  so many EE girls profiles said 'on holiday'. Of course I didn't mean the pimped out girls.

Having said I wasn't going to raise my rates on NYD, I had an enquiry today and he asked what my price was, I said my normal rate and he said "Oh really, same as normal?" So now I'm thinking I missed a trick! I might say to any future enquiries that it's 1hr minimum. Just because most of my neighbours will be in and likely to notice a high number of guys coming and going from my flat.

You can get away with a one day price hike on new years eve (hotel rates will be considerably higher) and the amount of work on NYE is chaotic esp if in london so it can help keep the workload managable.. Saying that im only planning to work for a few hours afternoon and early eve this nye so will be keeping rates the same to try and ensure bookings in the time period! Put your rates where you want just remember tgat youre still in competition with others who may not have raised their rates.. X

Sorry in advance for mentioning it ladies!

Last year I was away so I've never escorted over Christmas before, I mean Xmas Eve, Day or Boxing Day. I'm thinking of going away again but it's just so expensive I was wondering if I should stay at home and work, go away another time. I live alone so Christmas can be just like any other day.

Do any of you have experience working actually over Christmas? Is there demand at all? And would you charge extra... I think I would if there was any business?

TIA!

Not at all. I was interested to see when last years' posts started appearing and it was November 22nd, so we've got a fair old jump on them this year :).

Because of the way the dates fall this year I'll be working in London in the week up to Christmas and at home on the Friday (22nd), then Saturday and Sunday will be as usual as I don't work Sundays and only do advance bookings on Saturdays. Christmas Day is the Monday, so I daresay I'll glance at my phone around Thursday or whenever I'm getting bored; if I have a good week away I'll take the whole week off and come back after New Year :D.

I've been away the week after Christmas from the 27th on for the last few years, and whilst I've always been busy it'll be nice not to have to spend Boxing Day packing :).

I worked around Xmas 2 years ago and found it to be busy for the week up to Xmas and then the week after. I didn't work Xmas eve, Xmas day or boxing day but I imagine there is a market for it as there are plenty of people on their own, lonely and looking for company. Personally I wouldn't put my rates up, especially because I found people brought me gifts before.

I haven't done the outcalls, but I've definitely been asked and not just because people are.too pissed to go out. If it's cold and they've eaten too much I daresay they would rather order in (and I remember quite a few hotel outcall requests in London last year too, which I would possibly have done had I not been too busy) :).

Don't forget if you're planning it for Boxing Day/NYE and so on then public transport might be scaled down and cabs will be charging a premium, so you might want to factor that in.

I have a strict rule to eliminate the dik heads. My prepaid addison lee is booked and paid in advance by the guy or couple which is not included in my fee. If its done then bingo genuine outcall taking place.  I will see how this christmas plays out, if and idiot really wants you and is not to fussed on the high cab rates around that time then he will go ahead.

Thanks amy. What I do is still be at home chilling movies and food and if i get a booking great. It will be interesting to see what type of males book on that day.

Cannot believe this thread is back with us in September! Since it seems to be persistent I might as well join in.

My experience is what work there is around is mainly outcalls, lonely people on their own feeling it at Xmas.  Unfortunately I don't drive and most public transport shuts down so I usually can't take advantage of this  :(

When I've worked (wherever I am) incalls are few/far between on the actual festive days.

I already heard a christmas advert on my local radio today, depressing. 

For me December is the quietest month of the year, and has been forever.  Alot of my clients find it harder to sneak off to see me that month due to family commitments, and quite a few people who see me every month without fail, dont in December, 99% of my clients are English and celebrate christmas, maybe thats why.

Post by: VoluptuousCurves on 27 September 2017, 08:53:27 am
I had a great month last December even though I took a few days off. A lot of my clients are Asian but even so they will have time off (presuming they are employed by a British company and not self-employed) and if they have kids, the kids will be off school.

Anyway I intend to work the week prior in central London, go home for the weekend, and then probably work Boxing day and the next 4 locally, so I can go home every night.

You ladies that have worked successfully over Christmas before do you offer outcalls or incalls please?  :)

I only normally offer outcalls but wondered if it was worth getting a hotel.

I only normally offer outcalls but wondered if it was worth getting a hotel.

The thing to remember about Xmas is that most public transport shuts down for 2 days, so if you don?t have a car outcalls would be very expensive (high taxi fares).

As to incalls, in 7 years I have not had big interest in incalls (which I normally do), except for the odd client who did not celebrate Xmas

(I?m talking about Xmas and Boxing Day here) I found Xmas Eve to be zillions of TWs unless it was an advance booking, and generally the whole period (say 23-28) to be very quiet.

But others may have had different experiences.

Edit: Sorry only just noticed you asked for advice from those who?d worked successfully over the period!

I do drive SS I don't live in a big city. I'm near Cardiff but not in it, plus their public transport is pretty shit most of the time anyway especially holiday time.

I'm thinking about asking for deposits too which I don't normally. I just feel that the TW's will drive me nuts more than any other time of the year!

Yes that might be an idea.  I can tell you that the TWs multiply like flies over this period!!

Like I can imagine it being really dead a couple of weeks before christmas or after? Be grateful for any past experience in these upcoming weeks please. I am tempted to work christmas eve evening and even christmas day evening (only incalls)

on a simliar note, it has been crazy dead today (hasnt it just been payday?? :( ) even paid the I am free today thing on AW. just timewasters and possible bookings for other days  :FF

You should be able to write in the main body of your profile that you are working over Xmas.

This is the ongoing debate isn't it, that's how I read it too. It states you can't put availability details in the summary which is just the title. You then should in theory be able to put what you like (within t's and c's) in the main part. I've seen profiles with availability dates, times and all sorts in the main part of the profile page and if you take it word for word it's all right to do that.

I always avoid the word available although I've seen others use it. I have put dates on my profile if I'm somewhere else in the near future. It just makes sense. I'm going to work over Xmas so I do want to mention it, I guess most guys would expect lots of girls not to work at this time of year.

Let's hope there is plenty of business!  :D

Post by: barbie88 on 07 December 2017, 04:11:43 pm
Yeh you can't write on the header of the profile but on the actual main page I do write for example London 22 to 24 so they know how long I'm there . I was just thinking getting thrown out a hotel would be night mare on Xmas day lol hope it doesn't happen hence why I'm booking the hotel I'm booking the hotels that will be serving Xmas lunches will be good to book because there be busy . The hotels that you wouldn't go to for a Xmas dinner will be quiet so they might notice traffic more but can't go wrong with a hotel serving Xmas dinners the staff will be so busy .

You know I think its safe to say in this line of work it is near impossible to say how a day/event/season is going to be. Just one extreme to the other. Cant find any trends and its so different in different parts of the country. Sadly only thing you can do is treat every great day like its your last so you are prepared for the dead days.

Probably will say this closer to the day but wish everyone a merry christmas. I am going to try and keep christmas day and boxing day work free and enjoy time with my family as ive barely seen them since doing this full time.

Whatever you plan to do, stay safe and if you choose to work, dont forget to enjoy this festive period too!  :-* xxx

It's typical isn't it?

I'm due on tour on 27th. I fell ill on the 2nd last leg of my tour last week but worked through it. When I got to my last leg, I was so unwell I had to sleep so missed arrival day. I worked the 2nd day but went home early and am now really suffering.

I've prepaid my hotel too but it was only 80 quid so I'm not too bothered if I don't make it but I'm not usually unwell.

I really hope you are feeling better tomorrow and can at least get a few booking in. Xxx

I must be sad!!!!

I had a booking on Christmas eve which I really enjoy doing, and agreed a booking with someone for today - however a pending family bereavement, which I know is true means he has to cancel.

I also have other bookings lined up over the festive period.

I do have family and I am/was spending time with them today, the booking was for this evening when I'd be with my OH who I'll be with most of the day and went out with last night. Already dressed up and made up for our meal, a couple of hours earning some cash to me is better than languishing on the sofa stuffing my face - don't enough of that in previous years, and I don't drink alcohol so totally suits me. I can understand other people want to do other things. I was going to write him a card and give him a small token. It'll wait.

I must be very very sad then 😂 I'm working Boxing Day to New Years Day . I'll spend Xmas day with my family but that's it . I would rather work 😂

I've done it for the past 4 years and always made a killing .Although I know some escorts that have worked and it's been dead for them .

I already have 3 bookings for boxing day with regulars and I'm pretty sure if I feel up to I could  do double that amount easily .

I have a lovely hotel booked with a pool & gym for 6 nights including New Years Eve & Day for under ?300 which is a total bargain .
I don't particualry like Xmas it's the most over commercialised day of the year .
I think it's nice if you have small kids  that get caught up in the magic of. Father Christmas  but I'd rather work and make a shit load of money than eat to much food and drink to much and feel like shit the next day.
 I rarely drink and eating dried up Turkey or Beef is my ideal of hell .

I will take 3/4.week of in mid January -Febuary as this is when I find it a lot quieter

In civvy world, working Xmas Day was usually a lot of fun, and in fact the days before and after as well, if you're working in any kind of hospitality business, were always good for tips.

I would ten times rather have been working today than sat eating shit food in an over-heated, over-crowded house listening to my boring racist uncle hold forth on Brexit and trying to choose whether to gouge out his eyes with a turkey baster or stab through his hand with my fork.

As it is I fucked off all my boring relatives some years ago, so my son and I had a lovely chilled out day walking in the park and feeding the birds, giving gifts to all our animals, playing Monopoly and cooking only the things we both want to eat.

I'm back at work tomorrow afternoon and really looking forward to it.

I think that applies to any time, but yes if you've something you'd far rather do then it is galling. Happened to me one summer!

There's something in my non-sex work life I do which I do on Christmas day, and which some in that activity think is 'sad' to do on Christmas Day.

I enjoy it and I don't enjoy some of the things other people do on CD.

I would ten times rather have been working today than sat eating shit food in an over-heated, over-crowded house listening to my boring racist uncle hold forth on Brexit and trying to choose whether to gouge out his eyes with a turkey baster or stab through his hand with my fork.


Ah good, glad to know I'm not the only one! Or at least know someone similar!

Chilled out quiet Christmas here. Feet up an watch the horse racing on TV today, but back to work tomorrow.

Run up to Christmas was very good to me. I had low expectations but I eventually ended up having to turn down some genuine guys due to overflow. Hopefully this week will okay.

I wasn't judging any one, I already explained what I meant by my comment. Christmas isn't a good time for me and as I said if I was sitting in a hotel room on my own on christmas day (if my phone wasn't ringing) I would feel worse then I already do on christmas day.

I thought your post suggested more about how you might be finding things difficult than what you thought about anybody else and what they were doing too, and it's clear from a fair few of the recent posts that plenty of people are under pressure at this time of year and we can all take things a bit more personally than we otherwise might if we're feeling a bit defensive :).

As far as I'm concerned it should be a time of year where everybody ought to be able to do what they like, whether that means working or not working. Making other people feel bad for their choices is not what we do here and whilst I sympathise with anybody who's had to work when they didn't want to, I hope it all went well for everybody who did and that they still found a chance to do something nice for themselves even if it was just a hot bath and a brew.

I'm supposed to be back at work on Friday and I'll have had a week off by then, but I worked bloody hard in London last week to be able to do that. It's the first time in years I haven't worked between Christmas and New Year and I've had a lovely time baking and going running and freezing my tits off at the football today, so I'm not going to feel guilty about any of it :).

Well today I worked in the sauna and it was fucking dire, to say the least!! We opened at 1pm instead of 10am and the first client didn't come in until 2.55pm, I made only ?100 and this was going with 3 men for half an hour each, it's ?50 in the sauna to us for a half hour, but with your first client of each new week then you must pay ?30 to the desk (on a normal day its ?20 to desk for first 2 clients and then ?10 for the rest!) and this goes towards the cleaners wages. Don't get me wrong ?100 is better than nowt but 3 guys just to get that paltry amount?!


Anyway this thread isn't about rates, etc, etc, and I'm sorry for going off topic.

Thank you; I?ve just had to accept I will be massively out of pocket, I leave tomorrow and am still not fit to do bookings.

What?s more there are so many things below standard here; I don?t normally book executive rooms but they were on a better deal due to time of year, so I am psyching myself up to complain before I leave, as I definately haven?t got what I?ve paid for.

Seems like its just not my week this past week.

Yes, there are ten years of Christmases covered over the twenty three pages of this thread alone, so it might be worth having a look in case somewhere in there is a useful post?

I'm doing the week before in London up to Saturday 22nd and then going back the week after New Year, but I don't honestly know whether I'll bother much at home inbetween the two. Boxing Day/New Years' Day are Wednesdays and I don't really work weekends so that only really leaves the Thursday and Friday of both weeks for me, and what I suspect I'll do is make them advance booking only rather than go to my flat on the off chance. It depends on the weather too.

Alternatively I'll stay at home for two weeks and eat my body weight in turkey and stuffing rolls and cake and mini cheddars :D.
Title: Re: Working at Christmas?
Post by: amy on 09 November 2018, 02:21:14 pm
I should maybe add that the five days I did last year (the 17th to the 21st, I think) was the busiest week I had all year and I still turned loads away and finished at my normal time each day. I was practically dead by the time I got home and the next day was a write off so I was glad it wasn't Christmas Eve :).

I've done the stint between Christmas and New Year in London twice as a change from the one before and found one busy and one good but more steady, although that was really a location thing. Looking back at that week last year when I was at home isn't helpful because I was having a new kitchen put in at my flat and not available anyway, but I don't remember turning many down.

You asked about incalls.

Lots of people advertise both but that doesn't mean they will necessarily be busy.

My advice would be to focus on areas where the local demographic doesn't celebrate Christmas. I'd need to Google this myself as I have no idea what religions do/don't.

My only experience is between xmas and New Year. One of my friends was very busy at this time, whereas I wasn't.

The other thing to bear in mind is the limited services in hotels over the festive season. The (chain) hotel I was in only offered a limited menu and it was crap.  Fuck that. I need my grub.

If it's Outcalls from your home location, the only thing to do is make yourself available and see what happens. Assuming you already offer Outcalls, you'll have the necessary safety checks in place. The freaks are out all year round!

I've worked it a handful of times - once in London and a couple of times at home. It's a normal working day and since I don't work late or see people who have been drinking I just did whatever bookings I had and then packed up as usual. Completely unremarkable, from what I can remember.

When I used to work in civvy world I would work in hostels over the festive and had a great time.  Lots of people around and plenty going on.  Compared to spending it at home with one other person (my mum before she died).  I am glad I left hostel work as it can be quite sapping but that said I really did enjoy joining in the throng those early years at the festive season and I was given a paid taxi into work to get there and back.

For somebody to say that working on Xmas Day is sad is very judgemental.  I always loved it.  Now I have my 13 year old boy at home and it is boring to be quite honest.  Just another day.  I would quite happily work Xmas Day given the chance!  Though I am planning on working a few days in between Xmas and New Year when my son goes away.

See big thread this has been merged with :)

The hotel is going to come with a cost. There will be no public transport into / out of Central London on the day itself which will also limit the number of potential customers given how few people live in Central London outside work.

You can expect more TWs and idiots wherever you are, as it’s the holidays and therefore silly season.

Although many places will have no transport on Xmas day itself the other days will probably have reduced services. There are never any trains on Xmas and Boxing Day wherever you are.

Why not pick somewhere else with at least some transport options for Xmas Eve and Boxing Day.

Back on topic, I was originally planning to switch my phone off on Saturday lunchtime and not look at it again until the 2nd or 3rd of January, but I've had a few regulars asking about the 28th and 29th so I might do a bit if I can be bothered to drag myself to my flat and thw weather isn't too atrocious.

That's the thing, it's fair to say that this time of year many guys are busy and have a bit less money, it's an expensive time of year for most people and some may need to drop those 'little treats' for a month or two. On the other hand, there may be less demand, but also a lot less ladies working for the same reasons, busy with family, holidays etc so it would kind of balance the skewed supply / demand out anyway.

I have worked boxing day once and it wasn't very busy. But it can be very individual. Probably also varies by area.

TBH I sometimes wish, business wise, that I could work Xmas day. (I don't because I want to spend it with my son.  Maybe in 10 years when he has a girlfriend!) I do think there are a lot of guys who are alone on xmas day and would like some personal touch.

Reducing to attract those who are perhaps trying to save for xmas but just can’t help it especially since you’ve reduced rates ... eh eh.
Or upping rates to save more for yourself for xmas time? Make it worthwhile around this time of year.

Been wanting to up my rates again, if not December then maybe January?
Would love to know if anyone’s reducing or upping this time of year.

I worked xmas eve and new years eve last year and was very surprised by how busy I was. I had 4 bookings on xmas eve, totalling £700 and 4 on new years eve totalling £550. I had intended on taking 2 full weeks off thinking it would be dead but ended up working 27th and 28th then returning back to normal on 2nd and was business as usual.

I thought it would be dead but a lot of people go about their usual business. If I didnt have family plans, I'd likely work xmas day too as there are many lonely men on xmas day and they'd love someone to spend some time with.

November has been rubbish for me but this week has been very busy and alot of enquries for next week so I'm hoping Dec is a good month. I didn't work xmas day last year but think I might work half a day this year
 Boxing day was really busy for me last year so going to work this year

I take Xmas week off completely and sometimes the week before as dead for me normally. Around now I get a run of a few nice 90min-2hr jobs and a couple extended coke jobs 4hrs to overnight and I'm happy with that.

This thread goes alive only before Xmas. Anyone worked and can share experience?

I did xmas eve and it was manic. I mean totally crazy and I’ve made my 2 weeks budget in one day. Woke up next to client on Xmas day (overnighter) but kicked him out.
I was off on Xmas day but anyone worked and can tell how busy it was?

Once when I did on Xmas day was full of drunks and was the last time I said no more in my single days.

Traditionally, I think decent clients spend Christmas with their families.

I didn't have my mobile on but in the evening I completely forgot I had paid for Available Today on AW.

I did get 3 emails so yes it would have been busy by my standards.

Yes, saying that I had not gone as available so it may have been different if I had x

I was busy right up to Christmas, and moderate since then.

As usual I am always prepared for it to be dusty phone time in the Xmas week so anything is a bonus if bookings come in.

Not available 25th or 26th but all other days have been good. Not mega good but quite satisfactory.  Two previous good clients messed me around though and I have binned them.

Either dead or all timewasters at this time of year. I'm reluctant to work it unless they are regs.

I find regulars get their bookings in advance and before, during or after.

I also find a lot of newbie enquiries which fall into 2 camps;

Drunken work night out, or general night out associated with the festive period, might moan or swear if you cannot see them often make contact middle of the night, sometimes during the day still drunk from night before or well into their current session.

Feeling lovey, potentially under the influence of Christmas and knowing people are with families, wanting to try something new these tend to be subject to second thoughts and random Christmas events which will cause them to cancel.

Third camp just want to treat themselves these tend to go ahead.

Second two can involve a bit of back and forth phone calls or emails.

I've had  ( perhaps genuine ) but nonetheless mostly weird and/or fetish enquiries since Boxing Day .
- Bareback
- wrestling
- slave
- dirty knickers
And the list goes on ... I'm taking the rest of the week off :-)

I always find that all the previous year's timewasters come out and a few who've not contacted me for years have done so this week  ::)

Oh yes I have enquiries from the same numbers at similar times of year.

I've only been seeing one in the morning then having the rest of the day to relax/food shopping etc.

Still in festive mode here.

Nice to rest before ratrace begins again from 6th January.
