you need to create and account and then you can add a code or your card details
as i said
you will get that free month. I usually get mine from code resellers etc
the amazon deals a decent one for 12 months
then just keep an eye out on the deals over the next 12 months and buy when you get a good one
you can then add the code any time you want and it extends your membership

thanks m8, also i dont suppose you know, when i get my phone line fitted in a couple of weeks, can i ask the engineer where i want it ie) could i ask him to put it upstairs so the modem is near to my sons bedroom? Not sure where the best place to put it is but somewhere upstairs?

The first point will likely be put downstairs.
You can fit the modem/router downstairs for your broadband and then run an ethernet cable (tenner on amazon) upstairs to the xbox.
Better to be cabled than use wifi.

Ethernets cheap
mount it t the skirting or under the carpets
whatever suits
your other option is homeplugs

I use homeplugs myself and they are fine, i also use wifi which also is fine but can be a bit laggy at times

select a silver account as it would give you a free 1 month of gold(but read what it says on the screen) once the silver is setup you need to press the xbox guide button in middle of controller and use the left stick to go to the left eg you go to teh first blade and select redeem code and enter the code on the card

any chance you can get a monitor with a decent width?

My monitor copes just fine, however I'll bet there are plenty of forum users who have monitors that don't go to 1600 pixels wide which means the page ends up far too wide for them to view as well as impacting on forum bandwidth/performance.
