I'm after something I can use quickly and easily today if possible, while I navigate the 3 month IT request based process to get visio installed.....

Any suggestions for something decent?

MS Word actually does decent basic flow diagrams and simple to customize. Insert > Objects or something? Sorry I don't have it in front of me.

There is Gliffy, which is an online replacement for MS Visio. I have a paid account but pretty sure you can just sign up for free. Never used Visio since.

Yed is free, multi-platform, and quite handy...
