Thanks for the response everyone... well the exams should be over soon so with any luck this will end. I tried the largest drynites, and I think they work quite well... I don't want to wake up in the middle of the night during the exams - as a result I haven't used alarms; sleep is important! Thanks for those offering e-mail correspondence, but no thanks. No offence intended, but I try to remain fairly annoimous on the internet. Well, good luck with the rest of your exams, and getting dry. Kate
