Erm was handling him again tonight, and he decided to go and 'poop' and 'wee' on me for the second night in a row! Any Ideas why?

Well, in your previous post I had thought that it was probably just due to the fact that he had to go at that moment and not that he was frightened, however, since he has eliminated on you 2 days in a row, I would say that you are scaring him and he is doing this to make you put him back down.
If he does this again, don't put him down. If he realizes that pooping on you is not going to get him to be put back in his cage, then he will stop doing it.
Good luck.

I agree with Amanada. Just keep handling him regularly. How old is he?

That would put him in the right age group for this sort of behavior. It may take some time, but i think that he will settle down. He just needs to used to being handled. That being said, a small minority of snakes will go on voiding for their entire lives, so I have been told by one breeder. I think you'll be fine. Like I said earlier, my voider outgrew his pooping tendency as expected.
