there's nothing wrong with your xmls first line. But whats wrong is

- <urlset xmlns="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84">
- <url>

i mean to say that you have inserted ' - ' before every URL and URLSET element.

Here's the modified code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84">

' - ' there was the problem

and also you can use this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset
  xmlns="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84
                      http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84/sitemap.xsd">

 <url>
  <loc>http://freeaddsgalore.me.uk/</loc> 
  <lastmod>2006-10-08</lastmod> 
  <changefreq>weekly</changefreq> 
  <priority>1.0</priority> 
  </url>
