You've done the customary simple test to make sure it is the battery

If it started the car on Saturday, but wouldn't on Tuesday, then I
agree that I would suspect the charging circuit rather than the battery.

Remember starting my car normally and driving to the shops. After shopping
and going to the cinema - say about 3 hours, battery totally flat. And it
was just the battery knackered.

At one time a battery would usually give warning before failing. This one
didn't.
