Diesel engine turns over slowly but won't start?

Hello
I have a 1995 ford fiesta lx diesel, tried to start it this morning and it wont start. The dashboard lights came on and it turned over slowly - got slower and slower on further attempts.
Four weeks ago husband flattened the battery by leaving the air con running but the AA charged it up again, so wondering if the battery is weak or if it's likely to be something else? Haven't got Home Start and don't want to call out mechanic if it's just the battery. Also is it very difficult to change the battery yourself?
Sorry that's about three questions in one! Thanks in advance:-)
