Summarise a Long Running Family WhatsApp Debate About Who Owes What for the Group Present

The thread is ninety messages deep, half of it is a tangent about someone's holiday, and nobody can now remember who confirmed paying and who did not. This pulls out the total cost, who has actually paid, who has gone quiet, and what is genuinely stalling collection, minus the noise.

**Summarise** the thread:
1. State the total cost of the present and how many people are meant to contribute
2. List who has confirmed paying, who has gone quiet, and who has explicitly said they cannot or will not pay
3. Note any unresolved side arguments that are stalling the actual collection, without re-litigating them
