Thanks for everyone's help

The work around isn't that feesable for me because some entries are synced from my wife's lumia which doesn't have the repeat option.

i'd like to try deleting the calendar.db file because it's strange that i can't even see my personal entries and i havent heard of anyone else with the same problem. However, i'm strggling to delete the file. I can connect through winscp but cant gain root. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.
