Default My car is being a freak - solved!

I stupidly left my lights on while i was at work....
first time i've ever done that!
and of course the battery died....so i jump started it and took it for a drive during my break...about 20mins, so i got back and worked some more...came back to my car and it started....

only problem being is....the stereo, clock, central locking, cig lighter doesn't work, which i find strange, seeing as it starts

is this normal or has something broken??

do they work when the engine is running?
what about the lights, are the really dim?

clock should work, the others may take quite a drain so possibly they might not until its changed up again dunno really
