thank you, for a prompt response and solution, my apologies for the confusion I created.

I've just changed this for you.

You can change your primary domain at https://thorndiaries.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains

As suggested, I have reset them again the the domain registers control panel.

Otherwise try to set them again at your domain registrar's control panel.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Have noticed that other users having gone through the same process as at a similar time, have already had their sites mapping across correctly for several hours? As you point out it appears ... "Houston we have a problem"

As you say the .wordpress.com site is redirecting to the .com site correctly.

As "just another blogger" I am limited in what I can see, but it is starting to look like there may be a WordPress.com server issue. I will flag this thread for staff attention, as I think that everything that non-staff can check looks OK.

My http://thorndiaries.wordpress.com URL is now taking me to http://thorn diaries.com where my search engine shows a blank page? does this mean it is still waiting propagation?
I am trying to look more professional and use my .com to guide people to my wordpress.com site, see initial post.

Any help appreciated

It isn't doing so yet, but perhaps this is a DNS propagation issue; it can take 72 hours for a change to propagate over the internet

Domain helper also shows that you have not selected thorndiaries.com as the primary domain so it will not show up in the browser address line -

I'm wanting to use my, thorndiaries.com (domain name only purchased at go daddy) to guide people to my current, thorndiaries.wordpress.com site.
I have paid the site redirect fee and followed the instructions here at wordpress.com. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
At the domain name provider site (go daddy), I have selected namesevers, selected - I have specific nameservers for my domains and entered:
NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
NS3.WORDPRESS.COM
then OK & OK

Does this all sound OK or have i made some obvious error?

Kindest regards
andrew
