  I am trying to create a new wordpress but it isn’t currently working, instead stating that the address is ‘reserved’ ? Anyone know how/ whether I can access it?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  When we register a username account the matching blog is reserved for our future use. It cannot be obtained by anyone other than the person who has registered the matching username account.

  If and only if you have registered the matching username account log out, clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies. Then log in under the correct username account and as the blog is reserved for you and you will register it after logging in under the correct username account.
  https://signup.wordpress.com/signup/?user=1

  However, if you changed your username then the blog URL will not be available for use under the new username account.

  You can register another .wordpress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Then if you wish to you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade because it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.
