Being organised is the cornerstone of every Aisling's personality. But it takes lots of work behind the scenes to keep track of whose turn it is to host book club or to remember when you're entitled to a reduced-price scale and polish (isn't that what you're paying PRSI for?). A good diary, like this one, is your secret weapon. It provides a place to keep your special dates, appointments, goals, lists and plans. There are two pages per week, the all-important space for your Important Bits as well as lots of extra pages for notes and ideas. Each month is introduced with an iconic and sometimes inspirational quote from a selection of Aisling's favourite people. This year, there are also twelve exclusive extracts from Aisling's own diary. Think of it as a little incentive to keep you going until the end of the year. Because we all need a little help sometimes, don't we?

Aisling is twenty-eight and she's a complete ... Aisling. She lives at home in Ballygobbard (or Ballygobackwards, as some gas tickets call it) with her parents and commutes to her good job at PensionsPlus in Dublin. Aisling goes out every Saturday night with her best friend Majella, who is a bit of a hames (she's lost two phones already this year – Aisling has never lost a phone). They love hoofing into the Coors Light if they're 'Out', or the vodka and Diet Cokes if they re 'Out Out'. Ais spends two nights a week at her boyfriend John's. He's from down home and was kiss number seventeen at her twenty-first. But Aisling wants more. She wants the ring on her finger. She wants the hen with the willy straws. She wants out of her parents' house, although she'd miss Mammy turning on the electric blanket like clockwork and Daddy taking her car 'out for a spin' and bringing it back full of petrol. When a week in Tenerife with John doesn't end with the expected engagement, Aisling calls a halt to things and soon she has surprised herself and everyone else by agreeing to move into a three-bed in Portobello with stylish Sadhbh from HR and her friend, the mysterious Elaine. Newly single and relocated to the big city, life is about to change utterly for this wonderful, strong, surprising and funny girl, who just happens to be a complete Aisling.

He’s blinded by love. She by ambition. Diary of an Oxygen Thief is an honest, hilarious, and heartrending novel, but above all, a very realistic account of what we do to each other and what we allow to have done to us.

Aisling Creegan's childhood was dominated by an abusive, alcoholic mother, who tortured her at every turn. From insults and beatings to being threatened with a butcher's knife, Aisling endured unthinkable suffering at the hands of the woman who should have loved her unconditionally. Yet, in the midst of this trauma, Aisling relied on the one person she knew she could trust – herself. Possessed of an incredible imagination and remarkable resilience, Aisling found escape in the little things in life. Her power to imagine an alternative world enabled her to hold on and make it to adolescence and the freedom she had longed for since childhood. But the scars of the past take time to heal, and when Aisling suffered a breakdown it took her on a surprising path to freedom – and forgiveness. I Am Someone is an extraordinary memoir about female cruelty and – ultimately – female strength and endurance. 'Searingly honest ... brings you straight into the inner world of someone pushed to the limits' Lynn Ruane

- VOLUME 1 - The name's Eva "Bink" Cummings. I'm a biker and woman raised by my family, the Sacred Sinners. Growing up an MC brat, I've known nothing but leather, booze, club whores, camaraderie, and chrome. And this is my story. At the ripe old age of thirty, with no husband or kids, being a part of a motorcycle club isn't all fun and games. Things are changing. The moment my world collides with the six-foot-eight biker who helped raise me, I find out the hard way that your life, in an instant, can be flipped upside down, and the people you know and love aren't always who they seem. - VOLUME 2 - Growing up in the MC and gaining my independence is both a blessing and a curse. When I decide to say "fu*k my past" and embrace my future away from the only place I call home, I try to reinvent myself. But fate has other plans. When I'm forced to return to the place I ran from, a place where I had to face HIM. Now, I have to hide the biggest secret of my life and hope nobody discovers the truth. - VOLUME 3 - It's no secret that Big and I butt heads. It's no secret that I not only dislike my mother-I hate her because she hates me. Will these people break me? Will they push me to the edge of insanity, ready to jump? Moving in with Big has given me a life I never knew I wanted. Every day is filled with hope and love until everything changes. It takes a single day for my world to never be the same. One day to change me forever. Twenty-four hours I'll never forget... - VOLUME 4 - Fat and pregnant, I'm at the end of my rope with swollen ankles and exhaustion. Growing a little person inside of me is no small feat, and when that same little person decides it's time to be welcomed into the world, I'm suddenly catapulted into the beauty of motherhood. Join me in my birthing journey. You're in for one helluva ride. - VOLUME 5 - Christmas is here, our first as a couple. With the Grinch to contend with, my new job, and an infant to care for, things aren't all mistletoe and fa-la-la in the Sacred Sinners compound. There are bumps along the way, a few tears shed, and a bit of sisterly fun, too. I wouldn't change any of it for the world. I'm where I belong... Madly in love with my biker and excited to share this holiday season with those who mean the most to me... Even if I want to kick them in the chestnuts every now and again.
