Darren,
VRRP uses a virtual ip address that your clients use as a gateway address, but their real addresses are in the same subnet:
Router1:
ip address 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0
vrrp 1 ip 192.168.1.1
vrrp 1 priority 101
vrrp 1 preempt delay 10
Router2:
ip address 192.168.1.3 255.255.255.0
vrrp 1 ip 192.168.1.1
vrrp 1 preempt delay 10
If Router1 were to fail, Router2 would take over the requests after a 10 second delay. All of your clients would have the 192.168.1.1 address assigned to them as their gateway.
