After a check up at the fracture clinic and another x-ray I finally have a conclusive diagnosis; the talus bone is fractured and I have torn two ligaments. 
As the fractured bone carries blood to the rest of the foot they don't want the bone to displace as this would cut off the blood supply, so it has to be immobilised for another six weeks. After this my leg will probably resemble a soggy chip as well as needing work to stretch the ligaments back into place. It's not all bad news as I might have secured a job so will at least be able to save up some pennies during recovery!
