Easyjet 26 hour delay

Hi
We were due to fly out of Belfast international last bank holiday and the flight was delayed by around 26 hours. This was initially due to an operational fault with the aircraft. When an alternative plane was found, the flight crew had exceeded their allotted hours and so were unable to fly it to us.
We were booked into a hotel for the night and rather than catch the re-scheduled flight we booked an alternative flight with a competing airline, and cancelled the re-scheduled flight.
Where does this leave us in terms of claiming compensation and/or claiming back the cost of the alternative flights? We've had the initial compensation claim rejected by Easyjet but we have yet to submit receipts for for food and the alternative flights. We also had to miss a days work.
Any advice would be gratefully received.
Thanks,
