Ok, so things are progressing SLIGHTLY faster than I expected. I am currently in the process of uploading my *NEW* theme to my server. I designed this theme entirely by myself (which as me pretty chuffed) AND coded it. There are still a few bugs which I am working on (like the background colour on the about me page) but on the whole it SEEMS to be working like it should. If you come across any errors please comment so I can rectify them before I come back online fully!
