What the hell do I do if it doesn't confirm?
Double spend it. After 72 hours most nodes should have forgotten about it.
I don't really feel like losing 1.06 bitcoins.
Do the bitcoin's go back to my original wallet if there are no confirmations after a certain amount of time?
Depends on your wallet.
The 1.06 bitcoin's were sent from bc.i to a local bitcoins address I had, intending to sell.
They refund it after some time (might even be the same 72 hours, not sure).
I have no idea how to double spend, I'm not all that techie gifted.
I've messaged Quickseller to see if he can help me.
Edit - Took about 3.5 hours in the end but I finally got a confirmation. The necessary 2nd & 3rd confirmations followed soon after.
I rarely ever use bc.i, most of my stash is in cold storage but I fancied selling what I've earnt over the past year or so from signature campaigns.
I've learnt my lesson, don't use bc.i standard fees. I always pay high fees when using Core to get quick confirmations but messed up here.
Getting a confirmation is always the easiest solution
I think the transaction is normally refunded within 7 days afer not confirmation.
If the intial coins were sent from somewhere lie a mobile wallet, in future, you can add to the transaction fee once it's been sent.
If not and are using a wallet that doesn't check if coins are refunded, you can always import the private keys into bitcoin core to try to get those coins back (although it is obviously simper to set a higher fee).
