Nan Margaret · The Complete Notebook
You watched the 50p trick. Here are the rest — written down, so you don’t have to rewind.
I’m Nan Margaret. I’ve kept a Yorkshire kitchen the old way for forty years. This is the whole cupboard, written down: every mix from the videos, plus the ones I never had time to film — amounts, rooms, and what not to put on marble.
Pays for itself in the first shop — then every week after.

01 · The math
Your house runs on numbers nobody ever checks.
These are them — what an ordinary British home pays in a year for the things in this book. Most folks call it the cost of living. Most of it isn’t.
The green ink is the same house, after the notebook. And every green number has its pages: what to do, what it costs, and what to stop buying.
£14.95. Once. The bill comes back every year.

The first people through it.
What a great channel… pleased it came up on my feed so have subscribed. Definitely going to give these washing recipes a go as I’m so into the natural stuff.
I’ve used vinegar as a rinsing agent for over 30 years, and everything smells clean, not perfumed. Fabric softeners give my skin itchy hives. Next goal is making my own laundry detergent.
I’ve started doing this again — I remember my mum and granny using the soap and the scrub board and wringer. My clothes are not itchy and they always smell fresh and my machine doesn’t smell.

05 · Who’s writing to you
Who’s telling you this
I’m the nan from the videos. I’ve kept a house the old way for forty years: five things under the sink, a roast that lasts three days, and no patience for a bottle that promises miracles and costs £4.
People write after the films and ask for the amounts. The notebook is that letter, written once so you don’t have to pause and squint at the screen. I’m not selling you a lifestyle. I’m writing down what already works.

Questions people ask
I just watched the video — is this those recipes?
Yes. The mixes from the videos are written down with the amounts, plus the ones I never had time to film: every room, what to use, and what not to put on marble, wood or brass. You won’t have to rewind.
How do I receive the guides?
The moment your payment goes through, you’ll get an email with your guides to download. Read them on your phone, tablet or computer — and print them if you like. Nothing is posted; there’s nothing to wait for.
I’m not very good with computers. Is it easy?
Very. You buy with a card just like any online shop, and the guides arrive straight to your email. If you can read this page, you can do it — and the 15-day guarantee means you’re safe either way.
Are the guides easy to read?
Yes — written warmly and simply, in big, clear text, with step-by-step instructions. Nothing complicated. Print a page and stick it inside the cupboard door if you like.
I’m in the US / Australia / Canada — can I buy?
Yes — from anywhere. The prices on this page are in British pounds. When you go to pay, Gumroad converts them and charges your card in your own currency — dollars, euros, and so on. You’ll see the amount in your money before you confirm. No UK bank needed. The guides work just the same wherever you are.
What if I don’t like it?
Then you pay nothing. Email us within 15 days and we’ll refund you in full — and you keep the guides. The risk is mine.
Keep the old wisdom alive.
Bring back the know-how that ran a happy, thrifty home — and pass it on to the ones you love.
