Why ask?

We are having a NYE party and people have asked what they can bring. I have messaged people with a list and asked that they choose an item and let everyone else in the group know. I’ve chosen items of equal cost and effort that will complement each other. So why have 3 guests decided to bring items that are not on the list and are totally unsuitable and so won’t go with the rest of the buffet? One guest wants to bring a hot food that will be served cold. Not sure what mish mash of food we will get. Grrrr!

It can't be as bad as the year I was at work on NYE and a kind friend phoned to ask if I knew my husband (later to be ex) had told me he'd invited lots of people to our party. As I left work at 5.30 I caught my bus and bought some stuff on the way home but it was a poor showing. I had no idea how many were coming and I could only carry so much.

I wonder why I divorced him.

I'd have bought nothing and gone home to bed, with ears plugged against party noise.

I once arrived home from work to a houseful of people I didn't know, from my husband's workplace (no special occasion as excuse ).
It was a tiny house and was packed.
I threw them all out, along with their stacks of booze.

Husband : That's a normal amount of drink for them to have at a party.
Me : But we're not having a party.

Bit different for me as they were all people I knew well and liked. It wasn't their fault he hadn't told me about the party "we" were having.
