Anyway, everything's alright so I'll shut me gob now. At least my questions have been answered. I don't like not understanding things, so thank you chuckabiddy

I'm sure the boiler would fire up, having been off, when you turned back on the circuit breaker.
Anyway, I should listen to Judd. I'm sure he knows more about this than I do. I was just poking my nose in out of interest!

Ours goes off at about 10.30pm and back on at 6.30am, though it has a thermostat too so it's not on all the time.

ETA: Do you have a security light connected to the socket circuit via a fused spur? They're notorious for tripping MCBs off, especially when they begin to get old and corrode.

Yes, I've a timer, but I don't use it. I rely on the room thermostat.
You're nearly there with 'timer' though..
