look under the bonnet on the left side of the car check in the fusebox the starter motor is fused and has a relay which are both in this fusebox there should be a diagram on the back of your fusebox cover to help identify the fuse and relay you need to check this may not be your fault but if as previously mentioned you have checked the earth it is a good place to start

check engine to chassis earth lead to make sure it's a good connection.you can check it by using one jump lead and connect it to battery negative and other end to metalwork on engine.
