Portland say its in Cuteftp which i have used to upload my site, anyone know where the firewall disabled switch is in that programme? Debbie Wheatley

You could try connecting to your FTP through Internet Explorer. Just open internet explorer and type ftp.portland.co.uk (or ftp.fluidgear.co.uk) into the address bar. You will then be prompted for your username and password. From there you should be able to copy/paste files or drag and drop them (At least with windows XP and IE6).
I've never used CuteFTP (I use something similar : SmartFTP) but it just seems that your images aren't uploaded **into the correct directory**
One image (I've only checked two so far) is saved at:
http://www.fluidgear.co.uk/wakeboardman.jpg
but your html page points to:
http://www.fluidgear.co.uk/assets/wakeboardman.jpg
which doesn't exist.
Either create a new folder (assets) on your server space and move the images there (best option) or rejig your html code to reflect the correct URL for the images (bad option).
Finally,
i) your images are rather large and you're using html code to shrink them. You should redo the images so that they are the size that you need them and reflect these dimensions in the html code. e.g. the above image is 952x548 pixels which takes a while to load.
In your page, you're displaying it at 277x163. There's no point in loading a massive image and then displaying a thumbnail of it.
ii) Your "home" link doesn't work. It points to:
http://www.fluidgear.co.uk/lastfinalindex.htm
and is in a different font from the rest of the page.
