30 Days to Ready

One small job a day. In a month, your house is ready for three bad days.

When I was a laddie on the Clyde, my mother kept a tin of candles and a full kettle by the back door. Nobody called it preparing. It was just sensible.

This workbook gives you one small job a day for thirty days. Most take ten minutes. Tick the box, colour in your tracker, and get on with your day. By the end, a power cut or a boil-water notice is an inconvenience, not a crisis.

What's inside

  • Day 1: Find your torch and check it works
  • Day 7: Three days of water for everyone in the house
  • Day 14: Know where your stopcock and fuse box are
  • Day 30: The family talk, held in daylight over a cup of tea
  • Daily tick boxes and a 30-day progress tracker
  • Bonus: Hamish's storm-cupboard list
  • Bonus: Hamish's one-pot ration stew

Who it's for

  • Families who want to feel calm when the lights go out
  • Anyone who's thought 'I should sort that' and never quite has
  • Grandparents, parents and first-time home owners
