CAR NOT TURNING OVER HELP!!!!!

So I go out to my car just now that I was using last night and, it won't start, I turn the key and I get nothing, all door locks, closing assist and instrument cluster is working, what do I do, I have a small battery that I have been meaning to replace as it was on teh way out and it was very cold last night could it be as simple as that?

Any help/ideas?

Yea I know the guy said it was rated for 7 something, sorry Photoman I still have to go see my mechanic for that S600 grille I know I keep saying it, but now we are moving into exams and then I am going back up north for the holidays, I'm taking a study 'smoko' now, stupid managment . Also I hear that a crap battery can bring all sorts of electrical problems to the surface so I will get one when I come back from my holiday.
