ILR : Counting absences

I should appreciate if the procedure regarding counting absences can be clarified with regards to following problems i am facing :
1) I have had 8 brief holidays in last 5 years total adding upto 59. But there is never any exit stamp on my passport from heathrow. Is that a norm ?
2) I went to Dublin on 28th Feb and came back on 3rd March 2012. There is just an entry stamp on Dublin on 28th Feb and nothing else- no exit from Dublin on 28th or entry on Birmingham on 3rd March. Does that sound right? How do i prove my absence here for just three days.

Thanks for help.

The UK doesn't stamp on exits. Don't worry about that. Just list your absences. If the HO wants, they have other means to verifty your travel other than the stamps in your passport.

Thanks Jumbo for your helpful reply. Can you please guide me about my second question as well_ abt my trip to Dublin. I had gone for 3 days on 28th Feb. There is only a single stamp on entry at Dublin. No exit stamp at Dublin and no entry stamp back at birmingham.
