I have shoulder length thick hair that I have trouble getting very straight - can anyone recommend some really good straighteners that I don't require a mortgage for before I shave my hair off!

its got to be GHD's but they are expensive. try looking on ebay for them cheaper that retail price. Remington power ceramics are great too.

Like Frankie says: RELAX.....Don't do it!
I too have hair like your's. It is the typical frizzy, curly thick Irish type and have been fighting it my whole life. I even tried chemical relazers. Imagine me buying "African Queen" LOL
ANyway, let it air-dry by washing at night, then in the am spritz w/ a shine serum and use a flat iron on the lowest setting necessary (never blow dry unless you're in a rush)
Trust me it will be shiny, sleek and bee-utiful without a lot of the damage from chemicals and blowdrying.

GHD Straighteners are the best, they are probably the most expensive but its worth it. I have been using my GHD's for about 3 years now, i have tried other straighteners but they dont compare to the GHD's.

Go to Sally Beauty Supply, Wal-Mart, or a drug store and get a ceramic straightener.

If you want GHD quality without the price tag go for KODO. They cost £49.95 from the link below.
I think their better than GHD as they dont snag the hair.

Best way is:
1. insert head in bucket of warm water
2. remove head from bucket
3. place head on ironing board
4. heat an iron on a medium setting
5. iron hair (mind your ears)
Dont use hot iron .... ends up make it more curly .... well frizzy ... well ok fried. Make sure you follow step 2 .... its a tricky procedure and by ignoring step 2 you only make it more so.
