Check the battery voltage, it may be getting to the end of its life and the voltage may be low after standing and then starting the car. Modern cars can do odd things with a less than healthy battery.
 
check the fuse for the clocks aswell as it may be blown
 
How strange.. The same happened to mine yesterday!
Booked it in for Monday for investigation.
 
***update***

so after investigating all the fuses - all good ..
and as dsm10000 suggested the battery.. i dis/reconnected the battery.. and 1 hr later.. just like a mircale shes back to normal.. except now the fillipin SRS light has turned on and wont go away...

WTF!!

by the way.. i can only guess the battery's on it s last legs.. is there anyway of checking it or the alternator without a multimeter??

cool
 
You might be able to clear the SRS light by resetting the steering angle sensor.

Start the engine and turn the steering from lock to lock a few times, that will reset it.
