Thanks Guys!
 
If i make the container 800px that then makes my content box bigger but i dont want that to happen, is there another way around it?
 
wrap the menu, content block and footer in a div, add 25px padding to the left hand side, make sure the width is set to 750px.

eg.

Code: 
<div id="container">
    <div id="header">
        <img width="#" height="#" src="#"/> 
    </div>
        <div id="wrapper">
    <ul id="menu">
        <li><a href="index.htm">Home</a></li>
        <li><a href="index.htm">About Us</a></li>
        <li><a href="index.htm">Our Services</a></li>
        <li><a href="index.htm">Portfolio</a></li>
        <li><a href="index.htm">Prices</a></li>
        <li><a href="index.htm">Contact Us</a></li>
    </ul>
    <div id="content">
        <div class="wrapper">
        <h1>lolage.co.uk</h1>

    </div>
    </div>

</div>
Code: 
#wrapper {
padding-left: 25px;

}

Hope that helps.
