I used the default fee on Multibit which I haven't ever had an issue with before, when I repaired the wallet and tried to resend the transaction I upped the fee just incase though I have zero idea if it worked as it generally just states no funds and resend the original.
In short there's not much I can do here as I understand? should I just wait and it will sort itself out eventually?
Response is much appreciated, many thanks.
you can use the viabtc txaccelerator, you can re-try the whole repair operation and make the fee even higher, you can contact Quickseller or macbook-air and offer them a bounty to include your transaction, you can create a CPFP (altough doublespending by repairing your wallet might be easyer to do)
I've got the calculations for your first tx right here:
