Default Broken bolts in thermostat housing aghhhh!

I popped out for 2 mins tonight (braving the cold) to do something on the car. I thought an easy job would be to change the thermostat. Both of the bolts sheared off. Has anyone got any ideas of how to remove them??? Here is a picture. I was contemplating drilling them out and using 2 long bolts.

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).
