Thanks so much for your help
Honestly at the risk of sounding totally bonkers I want to reassure Metamask users!
I retraced all my steps by opening a new wallet etc and in the end I realize I had taken a printout of my 12 word secret phrase but with the words in an incorrect order🤦🏻♀️
My bad
So restore successful thanks for your help
Now I need to figure out out how to restore my original account in my wallet… but feeling much better!!
