I'm thinking of getting an external hard drive to make backing up photos etc simpler but don't know a lot about them 
Do they just plug in like a flash drive, and would I be able to use it on several machines (we have a desktop and 2/3 laptops)?
Any advise gratefully recieved also any recommendations, thanks

Yes you will be able to use on more than one machine, which is adviseable.
Yes they usually plug in via USB or Firewire, simply plug and play, some come with software to help guide you with back up, but it's not necessary to use the software, to use the drive.
