When my Guy realised that the voltage was low, apparently 11.8 is too low, he connected a large starter charger that landed up delivering a constant 45 amps and the voltage lifted to 11.4. He then put on jump leads from a new transit as well as the charger and we upped to 11.6 volts. Very strange.
Waited for a new battery, installed it and we were way over 12, connected the big charger and then sorted the mess.
Like you said, perhaps he should have stayed in bed. I had noticed that she was not turning over as usual on cold mornings. The new battery has resolved this.
