Validity of PPL exams

Hello

I've been procastinating over my PPL for the last two years and now I'm in danger of my exams becoming invalid. This is all down to an incident which took place last year and it affected my confidence. I am so close to getting my PPL that I don't just want to give up. I've actually completed the required flying needed before I can do my practical exam. Anyway, I've been reading LASORS and I just want to check that I'm interpreting the wording correctly. These are the dates I took the exams:

Air Law 24th April 2009
Navigation 17th June 2009
Radio (Written and Practical) 21st July 2009
Metrorology 27th July 2009
Human Performance 26th Sep 2010
Aircraft General 25th Oct 2010
Flight Planning (Still to do)

This is LASORS:

These examinations contain multiple-choice
questions for the most part and are normally
conducted under the auspices of a FTO or
a Registered Facility. An applicant shall be
deemed to have successfully completed the
theoretical examinations for the JAR-FCL
PPL(A) when awarded a pass in all of the
above examinations within a period of 18
months counted from the end of the calendar
month when the applicant first attempted
the examination. A pass will be accepted
for the grant of a JAR-FCL PPL(A) during
the 24 months from the date of successfully
completing all of the theoretical knowledge
examinations.



Obviously my Air Law exam has expired and I will have to take it again, but am I correct in thinking that I have until the 31st December 2010 to take the Flight planning and the retake of the Air Law? I am basing this on it being 18 months from when I did my navigation exam. Strictly it will be 18 months in two days, but LASORS says it's from the end of the calendar month in which you took the first exam, so 31st December 2010?

Also, I've read how long your radio practical exam is valid for but I'm still not clear as to when that is valid until.

Thanks for your help in advance.
