I love being warm and wish I lived somewhere warmer and dryer than this, but we too have been lucky not to be flooded. We have had a minor problem with the roof following that Tuesday night with the horrendous storm but that has now been fixed. For a while I was soaking up water with towels around the area in the bathroom where the water was coming in! £850 worth of repair but hopefully we should be getting some of that back from the insurance.
Bit of bad luck that Willow, but glad you got it sorted quickly. I'm lucky that way I live in a ground floor flat and if there are any problems HH sort them out. The only problem I had, which may affect other people who live in council or housing ass propeties are window breakages. Obviously I only have contents insurance which in most cases does not cover windows, I found that out to my cost when some drunk put my kitchen window in one Staturday night, I was not covered and it cost me £120, it was a double grazed unit. However I found out that as it was then HBC did a contents insurance, through Norwich Union, specially for councils which covers windows too, and its no different in price than what I was paying before and with the same coverage
