A survival guide for double lives (4) - buried tribute

Happy New Year sweeties! Sorry i haven't been tweeting much lately but it was a manic festive period between maiding for Mistress Scarlett Thorne and my vanilla life family and work duties.

Eventually i will get round to writing up the rest of the butt plug epic, although rather sadly i haven't had much butt plug action lately. But i have had a request to provide some advice on hiding the tribute payments to Mistresses for sessions etc.

As those of you who serve Superiors know, service tribute is not a small matter that can be easily accounted for, although the cost is perfectly reasonable for the chance to spend quality session time with a Domme. Typically the payment, which is made to support a Mistress's lifestyle and should never be mistaken for whoring, will be £200 for an hour.

So if you have a particularly nosy and naturally suspicious partner in your vanilla life who goes through your accounts hiding these payments, especially if they are regular, can be tricky.

In the post Christmas period when things are tight as most of us are feeling the pinch from the economic situation anyway this is perhaps the time to be most careful.

Here are some suggestions:

1. The secret credit card
i have mentioned this in an earlier blog. Barclaycard certainly do paperless accounts with online statements as do others. Take it out without telling your other half and draw money from it.
To stop an audit trail pay it off with cas at the bank and also make sure you keep up with payments because otherwise you'll get a warning letter sent to your home.

2. Cash back
This is a top idea from my good friend @PrincessTST. Basically every time you make a purchase at Tesco or another supermaret, or anywhere which offers cash back take an extra £20. This way the money just looks like part of the payment to the shop.
While a bit fiddly it is the most fool proof method of hiding your transactions. It can also be the means of getting the money to pay back your secret credit card debt.

3. Bank machines
Another way is to take out extra money to put aside over a spread of days before the session when you go to a bank machine. This is something i do quite regularly, you put the money aside and it doesn't look that suspicious.

4. Invent a regular payment
You can persuade your partner that something in your work life needs a regular cas payment which is why the money goes out. Personally i've used money for paymets on a property i rent out as an excuse and usually this sees off searching questions.

5. Make an alternative payment arrangement
You can offer to pay a Mistress's advertising, gym or other costs which come up as what looks like legitimate payments on credit/ debit cards. If you're really clever you might be able to claim the back on tax or expenses, something i've done in the past.

Of course, if you are the sort off well off person for whom taking out large wads of cash is perfectly normal then this advice is not much use, but for most of us keeping these costs hidden is essential to protecting your double life.
