unconfirmed for 7 hours

please help when it comes to computers my knowledge is press RT to shoot. i have been waiting for a confirmation on sending my bitcoins to a blender, so far i have been waiting ages.
i know very little about fees, every other time i have tried to put coins from my electrum wallet into a blender it has taken at most hour and half,why now is it taking so long?
I have been trying to look for a fix and found i have had no confirmatoins and my fee was lower than recommended how can i speed things up and raise fee?
Any helpfull advice would be extremely gratefull because i got this horrible feeling im gonna lose my money

the blockchain is like 43000 tx behind right now.  May that explain your issue?
