I'm sorry, I can't help with the photo thing, try a read in How to post a picture until someone comes along. :)

add .jpg to the end of the code - see if that works.

cold/frost damage?!?!? Mine are doing the same and i put it down to that!

They should grow out of it and the newer leaves won't be affected if the weather improves.

White patches them, they are cold as white one says, quickly move them somewhere warmer as they don't seem to have many leaves and these tend not to recover.

Could well be where water has been splashed on the leaves & the droplets have acted as a magnifying glass in the sunlight. As Aggy says - scorched.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Thanks for the advice

they are in a mini greenhouse outside next to the house so it is probably the cold as people have said.
The problem I have is that if I leave them in the conservatory or on the window sill they start getting leggy, outside its obviously a bit cold. I think Ill leave these ones to the cold and hope they survive and plant a new set in the house to follow on

Put them in the conservatory window, with some aluminium foil behind them to reflect the light. They'll be fine, I've been starting mine off in the house this way for more years than I care to remember.
