Oh dear, Catherine! That is no fun, and I am glad to hear the boiler repair man came quickly and got it sorted. How long were you without heating? I would say a shot of Brandy or some Whisky would have been a good idea with the hot chocolate 
(But then I would, wouldn't I?)
It's great you have the emergency plan for the reptiles. They really can't get cold. Or the Canaries. The water bottles are a good idea. I used to use old plastic water bottles filled with warm water to warm up my bed just before Misty got in. She went to bed about an hour before me, and had to get into an icy bed. So I left two bottles in there for 30 minutes which made a difference for her.
Well, by now you will be thawing out. I am glad it all turned out well. But of course an emergency repair man call-out isn't cheap.... But you can't live too long without heating in winter.
