My transaction has been left for 12 hours, first time I sent my transaction my peers seen stop at 3 and I have to close/ re open multi bit once  for it to gain the right amount of peers and the transaction to appear in blockchain.
   
 This time I closed it once left it for a few hours and it never appeared confirmed transaction in blockchain so I closed and opened it again and every time I did it gained more peers seen, how I ended up with 34. Im pretty sure I left a big enough fee for the transaction to send but I may have turned my net off after the peers seen which I didn't think was a problem.

 If I save my wallet key, make a second transaction, reset all transactions and load my wallet key in another wallet will that fix it? Had to do something like that before. I'm using an old version of multibit classic, thanks for reading hope someone can help.

The number of peers seen has nothing to do with how soon your transaction will confirm.

What is the txid of your transaction? It is extremely likely that your transaction fee is too low and thus it has not confirmed yet.

Can't get the txid transaction till I get home, if I set the fee too low how will I fix it?

You have a few options here. You can wait and hope it confirms, wait for the transaction to be "forgotten" by the network, attempt a double spending transaction that pays a higher fee, or ask a miner to confirm it for you.

For the third option, there should be something in Multibit that is like "reset wallet" or "repair wallet" which would clear all of the unconfirmed transaction from your wallet and allow you to resend the transaction but with a higher transaction fee.

For the fourth option, you can contact the users Quickseller and macbook-air. You can also try using https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ to "accelerate" your transaction.

I reset the blockchain and transactions and tried a multitransaction and didn't seem to work still trying to send both transactions but they won't confirm this time the fee was much bigger than the amount I sent do not sure why the 2nd transaction didn't send, if I reset the blockchain and transaction will I have to wait 3 days for it to revert back from when I last reset or when I first made the transaction, thanks
