sounds like you need a new battery and alternator. the aletrnator doesnt seem to be charging your battery and your battery doesnt seem to be holding its charge!

Fit a new battery (about?20) to start with and check all the main leads to the battery and alternator, and engine earth strap. If you still have problems it will be the alternator not charging, but the battery warning light should be coming on if this is the case.
