to me just sounds like the battery still hav enough voltage to run accesorys but not enough cranking amps to autually turn it over, have you tried a jumpstart?
otherwise no idea cos it should turn over no matter what unless starter motor is shagged but they dont just pack up overnight, so i still reckon battery.

definately the battery have been there many times. get your self one of those solar battery charges for when your car is sitting long periods of time.
