Looks like your transaction got confirmed! YAY!

For future reference, if you have an iOS or newer Android device, Breadwallet works with MultiBit HD seeds (tested with 12 on iOS/Android and 18 word seeds on Android)... If you have an older Android device "Simple Bitcoin Wallet" also supports MultiBit HD seeds (tested with 12 and 18 word seeds).

So you can simply restore/recover your wallet with one of those apps if necessary.

Also, it seems like MultiBit HD will keep rebroadcasting transactions and doesn't seem to offer a way to abandon a transaction. So if you want the transaction to drop, you will need to shutdown MultiBit HD and don't open it for a while. For added fun, it would appear that due to the massive number of transactions in the mempool these days, some nodes are waiting much longer than the old "72 hours"... I saw Lauda mention that it could take up to 14 days for transactions to drop Shocked
