I've either donated or taken credit for my existing tickets but as others have mentioned I am saving a lot of money through not travelling to work as much, no theatre, no petrol as there's no where to go and no restaurants (who am I kidding, McDonalds...). I've made some donations and I'm mostly saving to go on holiday. I was supposed to be going to the Olympics in Tokyo at the end of July which is obviously not happening but it's not clear which refunds will be forthcoming. Looks like no accommodation will be refunded (approx £1k) and Cathay Pacific are extending their refund window extremely slowly so are trying to avoid as many refunds as possible so it's possible I could have thrown the best part of £2k down the drain which is a little sickening. When we are eventually able to go somewhere it's going to be amazing and I want to be able to make the most of it!

So far I've had refunds from Curve (for 2 shows) and Cambridge Arts Theatre. I went for part donation, rest refunded. All I've got outstanding now is Sunday In The Park With George with ATG.

I am saving but not through choice. There is nothing to buy. All the things I usually spend my money on (theatre, holidays, restaurants, bars/pubs, fashion) are non-existent right now. I was happy to splash some cash on ice cream last weekend as miraculously some ice cream shops re-opened around me.

Don’t think I will come out of this much richer to be honest. The food bills bigger because am doing that stupid thing of stocking up on basics and cleaning stuff and treating ourselves to some nice wine..then the new vacuum cleaner cos neither of us can heave the old one about ( yes I had a cleaner) and books, sending out gifts to people and to myself...and then donations to the theatres, forsaking refunds and then to other charities , NHS meals thing and Trussell Trust via grandkids who are doing stuff to be sponsored and then we can’t get our holiday outlay refunded, having to battle for it ( update will follow) so as I say, I reckon not much richer. I’m also planning some house refurbs for the autumn...

For theatres that I like Im getting credit notes. ATG are giving me a refund.
I've geekily bought some first edition Sondheim scripts.
Also, I've decided to save the planet by giving up liquid soaps and their evil plastic containers. So I'm now looking at nice soap dishes. Although I'm thinking pottery is something that can't be bought online due to its tactile nature.
