So, what version of Xubuntu are we talking about here?

You could set up Wake-on-LAN (WoL). Many routers support port-triggering that sends a magic wake-up packet. Then you have the entire delay-to-sleep period to log in.

The scale on mine goes from 'never' on the left, to '5hr 50min' on the right. Move the slider completely to the left. See image.

I know it's supposed to work that way but on this computer it is greyed out and won't move even after completely removing and reinstalling the power manager.Now it has gone off again so I can't acccess it until the library opens again on Monday.

In that case, I would remove power manager from the "Application Autostart" tab in Settings > Sessions and Startup by un-checking the box. That will prevent it from shutting anything down.

OK I will try that thanks
