So…
They started it with a starter pack for me, took it in, changed the battery and hey presto! Back to her normal self again!
The battery did look to be on its last legs and the guy at the garage told me that it wasn't even the right sort of battery for it… ?40 any away I drove! (Wish everything only cost that!)
So coincidence it was…

Cheers for the replies fellas. Bumped it off last night and took it for a spin hoping that might put some power in the battery but no luck, Tried to bump it off again this morning but did it wrong and stalled ( ops: ). anyway, until this morning didn't realise there is a garage right at the end of my road!! :roll:

There's interesting. Does it start any better now with the "right" battery?
At last that Vauxhall emblem has left the car!!

If that bloke hadn't have told me any different I would have never known it was the wrong 'Type' of battery but hey, you learn somthing new every day!
Anyway, sorted now and she is back to her old self… and yeah, youre right, the Vauxall logo was making it look abit shabby under there!
