Fook, you with the AA/RAC???
Phone them they will open it without damaging the car
Other wise change the battery in the fob and see if that works.

Jack car up, take undertray off, connect either a charger or jump leads.
Positive to the starter motor cable, and a earth to the engine somewhere, unlock car, open bonnet, jump off battery / charge battery up

Long shot but try open the bonnet from underneath the car if you can get under it enough then get a mate to jump start the battery and then the fob will open the doors

so you have no tools, dont want to jack the car up and dont want to open the bonnet
Call Green Flag, they do charge you about £30 though IIRC mates G/F needed them a few months ago

its going to be difficult without tools.....
one other thing to try is remove the lock cap blank and check to see if the lock barrel is still there, you may be lucky...
