I know you said stuff on the net (i.e. free) but this book is very good. If you're quick, you'll be able to get it delivered for tomorrow.

Failing that, there are a million and one tutorials out there. Just search for "Photoshop tutorial". There'll be loads. Pick and choose ones you fancy doing and you'll pick up what tool does what and why as you go.

Alternatively - this?

Don't you have the training cd that comes with it or is it a somewhat dodgy copy?

They'll be in the hologramed box along with the certificate of authenticity etc.

There are tutorials but im such a novice at the moment there to technical. they were install from an additional CD inside the Manual. the Manual is a small bible!!! but again it looks to complicated

The best way is the barge in and muck around with all the tools to see what they do.

The other good thing to do is think about what you actually want to do with the program, then search for a tutorial on how to do it or try and figure it out for yourself.

Absolutely. That's how I learned half the stuff I know.
