No I sent 0.1 BTC without a fee on the 10th December. I do not know why the date has changed on BLOCKCHAIN.info. it still says the 10th on my CORE client. See image.

When transactions aren't confirmed, you client will rebroadcast the transaction again after it was dropped from the unconfirmed pool. In this case, your core client rebroadcasted it yesterday.

The date keeps resetting on the blockchain. Meaning this transaction is NEVER being confirmed. The chain has stolen my bitcoins!!! It's been 8 days with no confirmations.

The network is fairly busy right now with 7k unconfirmed transactions. My guess is that it will confirm in a week when it has higher priority, could be sooner if you are lucky.

I know I should now send a fee with a transaction but this is still ridiculous. You should get a warning in the bitcoin client that says miners are tight asses who refuse free transations instead of allowing bitcoin to steal our hard earned cash

Your coins are still in your 1DBS9 address, it is reported as "spent" because it is used in a transaction. If that transaction never confirms, the 0.1 btc can be released back to "unpsent" status (with a bit of work in core client).
