Mini meltdown

So what circumstances could possibly combine to send me into a mini meltdown last night just as we were going to bed?  If I mention radiators piping hot three hours after the boiler should have shut down for the night, a programming 'thingy' on the wall showing a blank space where the time should have been and heating on but all lights off would that be a good enough explanation?  Heating on but all lights off would also have been an excellent description of my head at that particular point by the way.

 Emjayer said in a comment a few days ago that she'd had her plumbers hat on and fixed a boiler error so I felt I should be able to sort it all out but I really didn't know how and in desperation I flicked the switch on the wall and shut the whole thing down thinking I'd have another look in the morning (ie today) then went and sat at my computer to give my head time to clear before I ventured upstairs.  I got Ash out of the way before he panicked by suggesting he went to run the bath and then I decided to give it one last go.  I went into the utility room, glared at the boiler telling it exactly how I felt about it right that minute and flicked the switch once again and guess what - the lights came on, the clock was working and I was left wondering if I'd imagined the whole thing.  I do have a feeling that speaking to the boiler in a cross voice may not work every time but for the moment I'm just happy everything's back to normal.
