Hello
I seem to have spent most of January and early February being ill with various nursery bugs… Am planning on dunking bambino through sheepdip as he comes through the front door!!!
But despite illness, I’ve finished off compiling the last of the SVA UK VA Survey… And we have some interesting results – for example: our Mummy Myth remains totally shattered – only 3-4% of VAs with young children don’t have childcare in place. And I FINALLY got the answer on whether working part-time affects your income as a VA!
Enjoy!

Help SVA – Webinar specialists…
One of the more delightful facets of running SVA is my neverending quest for favours… And yes, I’m looking for another! Do you run webinars or online conferences? We’re looking for a techie person to help us with The Big Meet in September. We’re looking for software recommendations and also someone to help me when I press the wrong button (which I do frequently, as Lyndsey batters me over the head with her mouse!). If brave enough, we promise chocolate, cake and all costs covered! Email info@societyofvirtualassistants.co.uk to volunteer
