Baz - what camera are you using (sorry, I can't remember)? From memory you're using a Reynox lens? On board flash can be dealt with, but with compacts it's a bit harder. Half a ping pong ball can do wonders (just be careful it doesn't melt).
If you want to, get a 2nd hand 30D or 40D and Sigma 105mm macro along with a dedicated flash unit. You'll love it. Unless you prefer Nikon, and then I'd go with a D90 as an entry level unit.
