i sent a transaction with the same fee 2days ago and it confirmed today, im guessing yours will also take around 2days.
Its been longer.
The fee slider that has been added in MultiBit Classic v0.5.19 (
https://multibit.org/blog/2015/09/10/multibit-classic-release-0.5.19.html) makes it easy to fine tune how much fee you pay.
Say you use the default setting of 0.000 1 BTC / KB.
Then a transaction of size <=1000 bytes will have a fee of 0.000 1 BTC added.
(Bigger transactions will have proportionally more).
You can see what other people are paying for fees at various places e.g.:

https://tradeblock.com/bitcoin/Most transactions are relatively small - 500 bytes is typical.
If you want your transaction to get in a block quickly you basically have to outbid other people.
If you are just moving bitcoin around between your own wallets then you might dial down the fee as you may not be bothered if it takes 24 hours.
I find a setting of 0.000 2 BTC / KB does the trick at the moment, you can probably go a bit lower. There are a LOT of unconfirmed transactions at the moment (22K as I type) so you have to pay more than usual.
Hah i see, So i do not have issues with other transactions because they are bigger (over 0.01BTC) and thus a higher flat fee is applied, because the size of the tx in byte is bigger?
Contrary to the small 0.004 transaction?
How about a feature to autocalculate the fee to get accepted? Like on GreenAddress?
