The Big News today, is that Maria (our occasional volunteer) has started working for us on a part-time temporary contract providing cover while we try and recruit a Finance and Administration Officer. Maria is not a Finance Officer, but she can take quite a bit of Administration off my hands so I can concentrate on Finance and other things.
While Maria got to grip with other things, I completed and issued the long-awaited guidance note on the final phase of the Value and Volumes research. Another major job struck off my to do list.
In the afternoon, I travelled up to Whitechapel for a trustees’ meeting at the Disability Law Service. Traffic was awful and it took me three hours to travel through the three Ws: from Watford to Welwyn and down to Whitechapel. I arrived half an hour late for the meeting, which was then concluded by 8:00. Linda, the CEO at DLS , is performing her usual miracles. We are all waiting anxiously decisions on future funding.
Shortly after 9:00 I was safely back home relaxing with Jackie.
