General chit chat

I can't believe January has been and gone already and February is going just as fast.  January was an extremely busy month for me, with lots of travelling, including Scotland, East Midlands, Oxford, Cheltenham and London, so I'm kind of glad that we have got to February where I have much less travelling planned to do, although April seems to be panning out in a similar way.

The highlighs of January?  I think going up to Edinburgh was something special.  It's got so much history and it was lovely being shown round on my day off and looking round the Art Gallery.  It was nice being taken to a very popular fish restaurant as well.

I've met some lovely people so far this year and I'm not sure if it is due to the New Year or the full moon or anything but emotions do seem to have been running very high.  Not just me, but clients too.  It's funny how in this business some people are able to enjoy your company and walk away without a problem and others quickly form attachments.  I'd be lying if I didn't say that I get attached too.  I know that I geniunely look forward to seeing some of my regulars again and feel a little dispondent when I don't see them for a while. 

I have one regular in Oxford who I have always seen from the first time I went there and didn't see him last time.  I don't know why, just that he didn't book me and it felt very strange.  I can't say I didn't do well, as I had 2 1 1/2 hour bookings in the morning alone, but... well it just felt a little wrong without him.  I hope he is ok.  Then there is my client from London.  I have only met him twice, but we clicked straight away.  He is a lovely soft and gentle man, although he certainly knows how to press my buttons. I enjoy his company, but he seems to have developed feelings for me and I believe is staying away for his own good, which of course is understandable, but I do miss him.  Then more recently there is someone who I have developed a crush on and although it seems that the feeling is mutual, we have agreed to not take it any further.  I hope that this does not prevent him being a client, as I really enjoy his company and his cock if I am honest.  It's nice to have occasions to look forward to.

What else has been happening?  Well while I was in London I was on a course learning a new skill.  I can't really  mention what it was on here due to discretion, but it is an art form that I hope will give me much pleasure in the future and hopefully a second income as well.  Last week I spent every spare moment clearing out one of my rooms that had been piled high with junk in preperation for making it into a studio.  I think I still have a few days work left to do on it before it is ready and in the mean time the rest of the house is now full of all my 'things'.  I'm going to be adding some of it to ebay this week and I've already sent 12 bin liners of rubbish to the tip along with loads of old cardboard boxes and an old suitcase.  I really don't understand why I keep hold of so much junk for so long, I mean do I really think I'm going to use it?

To try and keep some kind of order I have invested in some storage and am really pleased with the way it is looking.  I have 3 tall metal frames that hold baskets of different sizes and types, which are ideal for keeping all my bits and pieces in and one wooden square box storage system with canvass boxes in each square.  This way I can go straight to what I am looking for, instead of the usual hour long waste of time looking for what I need to make some thing.  I love being organised, although it doesn't seem to be something I am usually very good at.  I've also managed to uncover my desk, which I can use to make things on and another smaller desk, which will be ideal to use my sewing machine on.  All in all, I should have the house straight again by the end of this week and be able to start practising what I learnt in London.  I do hope so anyway, as I'm sure I am forgetting things as every day passes.

The good news is that where I thought I needed to go on a City and Guilds to advance my skills, I now know that I don't need to at all.  Apparently the City and Guilds is only testimant to the fact that you attended the classes and have enough skill to complete certain procedures, but beyond that it does not mean that you are good at your craft.  I was advised that I would be far better off practising what I have learnt so far and really perfecting the techniques and then go for one or two day workshops as and when I feel ready for the next step in my learning and again practising and perfecting as I go along.  Once I have achieved a level of expertise I can then show my product to the relevant people and start to get my name out there as an excellent and skilled person.

Needless to say I am very excited and can't wait to make my first thing at home.  I still need to get a few materials, although I did manage to get some while I was in London, but mostly things that I could not order online, which I will do this week.  Wish me luck!

Bearing this in mind, this is pretty much why I have not made any plans to tour this month.  I really want to be close to home so I can work on my studio and once that is completed, work on my product and I can't do that from a hotel room.  I am Escorting from home still though and happy to do outcalls in the immediate area.  I can't say I have not been busy, in fact if anything I seem to get more work while at home and have to turn people down, as I really don't like seeing more than 2 people in a day from my home.  I'm afraid Wednesdays are the worsed day of the week, as I'm only free until 1pm and I seem to spend so much time having to turn people away.  I wonder why Wednesday is such a popular day?  I have 2 bookings secured for Monday already, which is nice and something to look forward to and had 2 bookings yesterday.  As I can only do outcalls on the weekend they are generally quiet, which suits me, as I can get my cosy clothes on and continue with sorting the house out.

I'm really looking forward to this month and despite the emotional turmoil, things seem to be sorting themselves out.  I feel quite content at the moment and have an inner warmth in my tummy that tells me I'm on the right track.  In a way I suppose obstacles are put in our way in order to make us appreciate what we have got and if that isn't enough, then it is up to us to change it.  I love the sense of fulfillment when I reach another goal, or even if I am honest get a good review.  My personality means that I will always put 100% into everything I do and I do care, I can't help it.  So in a way the high emotions show me that I'm doing my job well, I just need to work out how to bring things back down gently, so that no one gets hurt.  I don't want to upset anyone, just make their lives a little happier and more fulfilled in the way I am striving to with my own life.

So if you are Worcester based or able to travel over here and have been trying to book me, but I never seem to be around, this month is your chance to give me a call. Let's have some fun and frolics, nothing too deep and meaningful, just kisses, cuddles and well that would be between you and me!
