Simon

try  express pcb i've found that pretty good and straightforward to use, give me a shout if you can't find it and i'll send you a link.  It's free to download as well.

Doesn't express PCB use a proprietary format so you can only get PCB's professionally made by them? Otherwise i guess they wouldn't be giving it away for free.

you can still use it to design them and just print em out, it works.  Your really meant to use it to design them and send it them for probably a huge batch, but it;'s not to say you can't just use the software.  There is Eagle software as well which is free (i think), but i've only used that a bit.
