Default Help finding a fuse..please

While trying to find a drain on my battery I managed to short something out, not in a spectacular flash of light but shorted non-the-less.

Here's what not working....
Dash light 'all ignition lights'
Headlights
Electric Windows
Heaters/Aircon
Fuel Pump

Think thats about it, car turns over fine, just no fuel to fire it up. Ive gone through all the coloured fuses at the drivers footwell and all the coloured fuses under the bonnet.
Checked the monster fuses too under the bonnet and all seem in working order.

Am I missing a fuse/fusebox somewhere that covers all those things.....??

Any advice much appreciated.

think you're right unfortunately.
Pretty sure that the it all went wrong when I had one end of the multimeter in the AirCon fuse (ignition on) and the other end was grounded.
As Im a complete electric novice, not entirely sure why or what I was doing. Looks like a mobile electrician is needed as it wont fire up to take it anywhere

Unless anyone else has any suggestions?
