i thought .0002 was ok, i thought that was the default electrum amount....

can i just mention the previous transaction fully confirmed while I was making the OP

will check out those addys. ta for that

What does influence the transaction size then? Simple: the number of inputs used and the number of outputs generated by the transaction.
A transaction using 1 inputs of 10 BTC to generate one output of 9.999 BTC will be much smaller than a transaction using 100 inputs of 0.001 BTC to generate 2 outputs of 4.9999 BTC.

yes, i noticed i have two outputs, i thought i had double-spent..

but i didnt double spend however i'm not sure why i have two outputs?...

This transaction uses 2 unspent outputs as input, and generates one output. I don't think it's double spending any inputs, since in this case, blockchain.info usually gives a warning, and the double spending transaction usually doesn't propagate properly. But like other members already concluded: your only problem seems to be the low fee... (altough i didn't take the effort of properly examining the transaction, at first sight, it looks fine if you disregard the fee)
