How much would you spend

But I've been invited to her party and can hardly go with nothing.

Ah! New information! In that case, and on the basis you're not 'friends',  I'd spend about £20-30.

Blimey £30 on someone you hardly know..you're generous!!

really? If i'm going to their party and accepting their hospitality, then I would want to buy them something nice. I hate 'nice' but I'm struggling with words today.

argh, hitched is doing that double posting thing again. Sorry people, i know how annoying it is to have to read everything twice (or some might argue it's bad enought to read once).

The party is in a hall.

Nick, I know that one person's £30 is anothers £2.50, I wanted to know what other people would buy/spend if they were invited to their neighbour's party.

Actually, the question CAN be answered. It says what would you spend, not what should I spend.

i would spend one THOUSAND pounds.

Thankyou.

I think I'll forget the wine and go with your idea.

[huff] I would still take £10 vouchers, as I said on page one.

Don't be a smartarse*, you know what nick means. Sure, it can be answered, but without the specific context of the hitcher's personal means it is meaningless.

* in case this is starred out, it is "s m a r t a r s e"

If I didn't really know them I wouldn't be going. But I'm a miserable git, not Jolly at all.

Mrs Bonfire:

why would you invite someone to a party that you don't really know,

 in order to get to know them better, maybe?

Fair point, I am indeed being a smartarse. I just thought the response was a bit ott, spelling it out again at the end as if I was a 2 year old. And if it had been starred out, adding an asterisk wouldn't exactly highlight it would it.

I shall switch off my pedantry program now!
