The above doesn't solve the problem. You need to remove the unconfirmed transactions from your Bitcoin-qt wallet.dat, and then -rescan for payments. You wallet balance will then reflect the correct balance.
1. Install python 2.7.5: http://www.python.org/download/
2. Install python-twisted package and python-zope packages: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#twisted - you must get versions compatible with 2.7 and your 32/64 bit version of python you installed.
3. Get the pywallet script: https://raw.github.com/jackjack-jj/pywallet/master/pywallet.py - save it to a known location on your computer.
4. Completely close Bitcoin, verify it is not running in task manager.
5. Back up your wallet.dat: file https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Securing_your_wallet
Then run pywallet with a command line that starts the web interface:
pywallet.py --web
now:
1. Go to http://localhost:8989 in your browser to access your pywallet web server
2. Go to the Delete tab
3. fill in the wallet directory and filename. Type "all" into the keys box, and leave the transaction radio button checked.
4. Press delete, all transactions that are cached in your wallet.dat are removed.
5. You can close the web browser and pywallet after this is completed.
Now, run bitcoin-qt -rescan and let it search the blockchain for all valid transactions and payments to you, you will now have a correct balance and no unconfirmed transactions.

Any chance you could point me to a tutorial? I have quite a few BTC in there I would not like to lose down to a silly mistake.
Backup your current wallet.dat file.
Open up debug window in bitcoin-qt, go to console:
To retrieve a list of all the addresses in the wallet type in the console:
Code:
listaddressgroupings
Code:
walletpassphrase 1000
(Unlock wallet for 1000 sec in case it is encrypted) For every address you want the private key from, dump it:
Code:
dumpprivkey
Edit: You can then import the private key to another wallet like electrum or blockchain.info
Restart bitcoin with the -rescan option in command line.

You could retrieve the private keys with 'dumpprivkey' command. Then with a fresh wallet, import the keys with 'importprivkey'. That might work.
Yes, 100%. The 0.28btc transaction has been unconfirmed and unbroadcast since April this year.
I have restarted QT numerous times including a fresh install of operating system and fresh block chain download.
Is it fully synced?

You can't really. The coins will confirm in time. Don't worry it will be broadcast if you restart QT I'm sure.
I've got 2 unconfirmed transactions in my Bitcoin-QT wallet.
One is worth 0.28BTC with a tx fee of 0.0005
One is worth 6.02BTC with a tx fee of 0.005
They both show as unconfirmed and not broadcast. I would like to know a way to restore these coins back to my wallet. Will pay 0.35BTC bounty!
