well the headlights come on when i turn them on, but if i turn the key nothing happens. I'm 100% certain its nothing to do with the battery. Im heading out now to check the fuses.

Or get a long piece of elect wire with a female connector on one end. Attach the female to the starter solenoids small blade. Put the other end momentarily to the batt positive post. The starter should turn over. IF it just clicks, do the starter brushes as mentioned above.
If it turns over each and every time you put the end of the elect wire to the batt positive terminal, then I suggest it's a ignition switch problem. One that can't carry enough current to pull in the starter solenoid.
