Ok, so here's the deal:

I have not worked consistently for some time (lucky to get 3days work a week), and as such, I find myself in a state of financial hardship.
I went to the bank yesterday, and managed to secure an overdraft extension. Basically, this will enable me to pay my rent, get some food, and fill my car with petrol. I will have very little left over to buy my kids a christmas present - this makes me feel very sad

I got a text from my ex-wife today, saying that she will get some presents for the kids on my behalf.

Now, this is typical of her - she sticks her nose in where it isn't wanted, and makes sure that she gets a few digs into me whilst she's at it.

I told her that I didn't want her to get anything 'on my behalf', as the problem is mine - aside from the fact that she was extremely derrogatory about my current situation!
She always pokes her nose in, and it really pisses me off - she seems to try to find ways of telling me that I am a failure, and that I don't care that the kids won't have anything from me this year (well, not until I've got a new job sorted).
FFS!!
She thenb rings me up, and TELLS me that she's got some things, and made a point of telling me that it all cost £65...and practically demanded that I take them!
She said:"I'm not sending the kids to yours if they haven't got anything under the tree from you!"
WTF!
I said that I'm just as willing for the kids to learn that sometimes they can't have everything that they want - to which she replied that I was being horrible and mean, when she has 'so graciously' 'done me a favour'!!!

I mean, FFS, I don't feel too proud of the fact that I am skint, but by the same token I want to bring the kids up to realise that sometimes life is tough. I think it would give them a sense of appreciation for the times when life is good!

She is always interfering in my life, telling me what I should do and how to live - fuck her the fuck up

You know, and she doesn't even be nice about it - there is always a caustic remark, a put-down, and a distainful comment, like, "I'm doing this for the kids, not you!"....that's after she has told me that she's 'doing me a favour'!

I fucking hate christmas!!
Bah fucking humbug!
