To think it’s bad form to ask for payment afterwards?

Friends birthday, invited us over and we had food and drinks (everyone also brought a bottle) and she wanted to do an activity that she bought materials for - not something I would pick to do but it’s not my birthday.

The next day we get a text saying how much we owe. At no point was this said before that we were expected to pay, I didn’t eat much of the food as it wasn’t really what I like.

I’ve paid as I can’t be bothered with drama but ?

Well that would be one person off my Christmas card list.
unless you send her one with a just giving QR code on it so she can reimburse you for its cost.

£20 and I paid £15 for a bottle of wine YABU to have paid that.
Your friend is being a CF of the highest order

I really want to see a screen shot of the text. Not because I don't believe the OP at all but the barefaced cheek of it.

Was it an MLM-linked activity, by any chance?

I thought this, too. Even worse if so.
