Lots of places! Watch a commercial tv stations' ads as will be lots of deals this time of year.

Thanks for your thoughts Andy. I've just been talking to OH and he too seems to think that the flashings on the sides of the window are connected. He doesn't think the rain could blow up under the bottom flashing or slates but with the kind of freak weather we've had the last few days he thinks the rain could very well have been blown onto the side flashings and it was so heavy and winds so strong then possible to have got in...
