I am in the middle of modelling and when I try and tumble the objects in my scene turn into wireframe boxes (with no detail) I don't know if I have changed a setting by accident...........can anyone tell me what's wrong?

Active Degradation?
Degradation Override?

Something like that.

Bad graphics card/drivers that can't keep up with the scene?
Animate playback setting?

Adaptive degradation toggle.

It's for if you are working on a scene, usually a large amount of geometry, animation, and/or texturing, and your system is updating so slowly, that you lose all your ablilty to move about the scene.

What you are seeing is all the object's bounding boxes.

Glad it's all fixed now.

And knowing is half the battle!!!"

Well this question isn't really worth getting upset about, but that's probably because this is such a friendly forum :) I think other forums might've flamed you by now. See, this question has been asked and answered a gigazillion times by now, a simple search would've yielded plenty of solutions.

Is there an acronym like RTFM just specific to forums and searching? "GSYI" perhaps? "Go Search You Idiot"? :) Anyway, keep the search feature in mind when wanting to post here.
