Not even an old punctured tube you could cut the valve out of? (Or pinch the inner bit.)

Should do. Was it a Presta valve? Get a superstar one for half the price of Stan's

Snapped as in the top bit? Is the core removable? Spares can be had for cheap for next time.

Yes presta and yes snapped the top bit. Very weak if you ask me, only used it about 10 times. None removable so it's knackered

Don't sweat it. Calm down.

Both my bikes have home made valves. Just cut them from old tubes. Feed the sealant in from bottom of tyre. Pull valve tight with lock ring . Done.
