Flying to the UK one day before ID expiration as German citizen

Relax, you’ll be fine. Timatic, the database used by airlines checking passenger, states:

Passports and other documents accepted for entry issued to residents of the United Kingdom must be valid on arrival.

For obvious reasons, this is the practice in most countries.

Since the UK Home Office has you in their database, at the border they’ll know you are a resident.

Off-topic: with Brexit approaching and all, you may want to apply for an optional residence permit, which costs 65 pounds. This would also make it easier for airlines in situations like this. It’s a visa sticker, and may be pasted into a passport or onto a blue foldable paper document.

In addition, you should definitely update the address on your ID card.
