Having decided on a "divide and conquer" strategy, my husband and I got booked on different flights home. Mine was scheduled today and I arrived without incident. He was booked on an indirect flight tomorrow and managed to get a standby seat today, ending up in Amsterdam where no connecting flight was available. He has a flight booked tomorrow and will spend the night in a hotel. We'll both finally be where we belong one week after we were due to arrive home.
If you're still out there, stay in contact with the airline because cancellations are coming up all the time from people who never made the outward leg, have chosen alternative transport or found a standby seat on another flight. If you have somebody in the UK who can call the airline for you at local rates, this is the most economical option. And please be nice to the the airline staff - it's not their fault you're stuck, and they're doing their best to cope with an unprecendented situation!
Good luck.
