Turns out I had been driving too long (pulled over as soon as I realised something wrong) and had destroyed the inner sidewall of the tyre and therefore have to purchase another tyre. Although it will take a week! Amongst other happenings, it was a very unlucky day.
sorry to hear, that is some bad luck alright!
