If it will start / fire straight away from cold when jump started then your battery would appear to be on its last legs.
However do check the battery terminal posts for corrosion first before going too far though as the jump leads will bypass any bad connections here and give the illusion of a poor battery.
Before spending measure the battery voltage / get it checked at a garage ( free )
By the way welcome to the Forum you should get plenty of help though not everyone is on-line all the time.
