- In April 2001 Lou Ann emailed from the States with the article They aren't all scams in the Soapbox. She wrote about her experiences to date with craft kits. We published the article as it was her opinion and she did have some good practical advice. In January 2002 she wrote again with an update of what happened. This is a must-read and is linked to her original article.

- The Outworking Bill went to the UK parliament today but was scuppered by the Opposition. Opposition members who had previously given their support of the Bill decided to abstain when it came to the vote. Before the vote the Bill had appeared to have been given the go-ahead until a member of the House shouted "No" and then they moved to a vote. The Bill lost by just one vote. Thank you to all the readers of Homeworking.com who supported the campaign to get this Bill through the UK parliament by writing to their MPs. If only one more supportive MP was in attendance then this Bill would have got through despite the shenanigans of parliamentary activity.
