It really depends what part of your menstrual cycle you were in when the condoms split. If you were ovulating the chances of you becoming pregnant are high. Since it's happened more than once (the condom splitting) I must strongly advise you to take a pregnancy test as soon as possible if your period is late. Repeat it again in 3 - 5 days if the test is negative but you still haven't got your period.
If it ever happens again get yourself the morning after pill. It can be taken up to 72 hours later and is free in the UK. It's available from your G.P, NHS walk-in centres, Contraception and sexual health clinics and some pharmacies without prescription. (Your local NHS primary care trust website will list all the places you can get it in your area) Take responsibility for this - don't just ignore it and hope for the best.
It also sounds that you need to start practicing another method of contraception as a back-up for condoms. See your G.P or go to a contraceptive clinic for advice on options.
In the meantime, if you really think you might be pregnant consider (at least to yourself) whether you want to keep the baby. If you do, stop drinking alcohol and start taking folic acid supplements.
Good luck

 It could just be the worry thats making you think these 'symptoms' mean more than they do, but that said there is always a chance. Try not to stress about it until anything is certain; worrying may delay your period, so try to keep your mind off it. In the meantime i would STRONGLY suggest getting yourself on some form of birth control, like the pill or implant, just to avoid this kind of situation in the future!!
Good luck, keep us posted :)

Well the symptoms could be describing pregnancy, but only a doctor could tell you for sure. You need to get tested by a doctor.
