New Direction...

It's been over a month since my last blog. SORRY! But what a month!!

Where shall I start? OK there are two sides to this story and, as ever, they split into real life and secret life.

SECRET LIFE…
The Escort Agency call a couple of times. My paying friend has given me a great review and they do the hard sell on “you could make a fortune”. Tell them I will think about it
REAL LIFE...
We lose the big pitch (to a bunch of Soho Square bull shitters). Then another big account walks.
SECRET LIFE…
Another call from the Escort Agency. My first paying friend has recommended me to a business associate who wants to meet. I say no. They phone back to say he will pay £1,000 for the night (I think they thought I was negotiating! My conscience takes a holiday - meet up, have a pleasant time, fuck him, suck him and walk away with £750 tucked into my nice new coat pocket (Got the grease mark out by the way – apologies for the slip into God Houskeeping mode but the Stain Devil worked fab!)
REAL LIFE…
"Tough times" staff meeting, "may have to let some people go" says the big boss. We know it is serious when the big boss comes down to the third floor!!
SECRET LIFE
Another Punt. Another £250.
REAL LIFE…
Two weeks ago I get the call into the bosses office and it's all over. 3 months salary (tax free - thank you Mr Brown!) and I'm out of a job..

Then it happens – secret life meets real life…

I turn into an accountant…

Real Life Salary = £29k, or £557.69 a week

Secret Life Salary = 10 punts a week. Say 1 overnight (£500 after the agencies cut), 3 evenings (£250) and 6 2 hour calls (£120) = £1970. Figure I will need ‘premises’ if doing incalls – cost of a central-ish flat (Maida Vale/St J’s Wood) = £240 per week. Income less costs = £1,730 a week (or £80,000 a year if I take 6 weeks holiday!!). As a back-up I will keep the £7,250 redundancy cash for a rainy day.

So guess what!! Yep - I turned ‘Pro’ on Sunday 30th October!

Week one has been OK. The agency and the other girls recon the first couple of months are the worst as you need a base of clients before you really get going. This weeks tally is 6 punts bringing in £925 so far, but no flat to pay for and I am being v. choosy. So far all the clients have been good, clean and quick!

So now I have a bit more spare time this becomes the diary of my new life!!
