my battery was doing the same mate
i put my daughter in the boot to see if the boot light went out which it was not
replaced the switch and all fine now :y
Personally I'd have dropped the back seats and just looked in the boot.
But I will remember that next time my daughter is misbehaving!  :o ;D ;D

i was tempted to leave her in there a few hours just to teach her a lesson for being naughty but with my neighbour he would soon be on the phone to the old bill >:(

I don't think I have a boot light as I've never seen it illuminated. Where is it & I'll have a look when I get the car back.

I'll also check the voltage from the alternator when it comes back.

I have been wondering if I have a short somewhere as occasionally I get the 'headlight/tailight' message but I have no bulbs out

Further update

I do have a boot light but the bulb holder is broken and the lamp just loose inside (left it that way for now)

Current draw from batt -ive to car -ive 0.71 (10amp scale)

Removal of fuse 6 ....... 0.41 (Radio)
Removal of fuse 12 & 6   0.18 (includes radio)

Does having a phone card in the radio draw any current when switched off?

I noticed while 12 was out that the climate control fan kicked in with keys out of the ignition!!

Anyone got any ideas now?

Oh yes Alternator charging at just under 14v with a small drop with aircon & headlights on
