3. Invoicing - create one invoice and send to my partner for details. (20mins)
4. Determine whether we met the KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) for May
2015. Thankfully, we met most of them - the obvious one that failed

5. Investigate process for next version of software project for new
customer - investigation for new process, particularly use of a proxy.
