I tried to start my car to get to work this morning only to find that when I turned the key absolutely nothing happened 
No electrics at all worked.
I didn't have time to check anything out as I had to get to work, so I'm hoping it's just a flat battery, but the fact that the car was fine on Sunday night, and now absolutely nothing works makes me a bit worried!
I'm going to check out the car over when I get home (at 10:30 tonight), but is there anything I should look for if it turns out it isn't just a flat battery?
Cheers.

Probably a flat battery. Have you got an immobiliser fitted? Could be an issue with that. That was the cause for concern for me, before also being the culprit that flattened my battery in the first place, right before an import business meeting I had to drive 3.5 hours up to Liverpool for, in the rain!
Mystery solved - my gf left my passenger door slightly open, meaning that the 2 interior lights were left on for a day and half!
I've charged up the battery and it was just enough to get the car started. I've driven it around for about half an hour and come to work now; I fully expect to be stranded at work when the car won't start this evening!

One sure fire way to solve that happening again. Take the bulbs out, and leave a pen torch in the glove box if you need light.I've charged up the battery and it was just enough to get the car started.

I was happy with that for about 3 years before the Mrs made me fix the blown bulb when the car became her daily drive.
