There wasn’t an option for not being at work: ie retired.
I second 2paw: need more work options, such as looking for work/unemployed.
need an option for retired
There wasn’t an option for not being at work ie homemaker with grown children. I’d love to see more stuff for grownups on the site.
Also not an option for a combo of schooling choices & no way to leave it blank. (Making surveys is hard, isn’t it? A local environmental non-profit sent one out that was *so* messed up, I wasn’t the only one to send feedback that it wasn’t working…they sent out a new one & asked everyone to please please give it another try. This one is much better than theirs!)
Thanks for asking! ;)
no option for grown up children- ie children but no schooling. I stopped there.
No option for children too young to be in school. I answered “traditional non-private school” because we plan to send our kids to public school when the time comes.
I also found the age ranges to be gigantic!
sorry – fixed it for those who have not filled in the form
ah – next time I might test it on a few more people – so thank you all for your feedback – I have fixed those points – so a couple of results (for the retired folk) might be a little skewed – but thank you all. I will post the results in a week or so.
The children are grown up and don’t live with us! I answered “I buy the occasional thing” but actually I do buy online quite often but wouldn’t describe myself as an addict! We live in a rural area and it is practical to get the postal service to do the work rather than drive miles to buy something!
I’m a little (a lot) out of touch with all the gizmos, and I’d love for you to write something about the “craft apps and resources” you mention! Just an idea – thanks :)
am onto it!
This was fun–thanks for asking!
I love to read what others are making it helps spur me on in my goals
The survey – A great idea. I’m interested in the results
I am interested to see the results. Thank you for your wonderful site. Always so interesting.

In the states, private means you pay quite a bit of money to send your child. Public is government run and free. Lastly, what about homeschool – no curriculum, or even better, non-secular homeschool. Those that follow a curriculum tend to be secular, as for the most part those are the only curriculums.
Same here too – although I think in the UK a public school is actually a fee paying school. Anyway i think you know what I mean by this question.
I’d like to see more patterns for larger and/or women that aren’t frumpy.
Looking into it
That should have read larger and/or older women!!
What Francesca said – could you do an article on the apps & gizmos for tablets? :)
yes thinking one up – doing some research …
