    To be honest, on this forum what one person thinks is acceptable is anethma to someone else . We’ll probably never know what’s gone on. But, I’d always prefer to have an open rather than a closed mind until I know the full story!

    You wrong, Pollycat. Never!

    I wasn't talking about the opinion of posters on someone else's problem - I do agree that there is always a vast chasm there.
    I was referring to what the OP thought was acceptable as a reason for being asked - after the invitation was issued - for a voluntary contribution.
    If the OP thought the reason was acceptable, I really do doubt that there would be a thread to be debating.
    Acceptable reason for being asked for voluntary contribution towards the party = no reason to post.

    ~And maybe the OP hasnt been back and given the extra info because she now feels foolish and realised she's been overly judgmental.

    And maybe the OP hasn't been back and given the extra info because she's read enough posts from people who don't think she's been foolish and don't think she's been over-judgemental and has decided for herself how to deal with the invitation and subsequent request for 'voluntary contribution'. :whistle:
