Default soft boiled eggs!

how the hell do you get them spot on.
have them every sunday morning as a treat and can usually get them something like,but not every time. how do you cook yours?
we have got an egg timer that you stick in the pan with the eggs when there all cold which will work ok for the first round but its still too warm to give an accurate reading for the second lot.
we have also tried putting them into boiling water and cooking for 4 minutes,which usually works but the eggs usually crack.

if your egg crack splash a bit of vinegar in the water,it stops the egg coming out the shell and bloks the crack.
