I actually find the ELOS quite easy. With regards to the second test, I don't even do it anymore (well maybe once in a blue moon), as I find that this number never changes. So I do the first test only subtracting what I know what the second test will give. Very simple.

I am going to retest in the next couple of days...as I must have done something wrong...not the first time, nor the last LOL!

Thank you for all the input everyone!
