+1no outbound/inbound journeys left it looks like you’ve used all your outbound/inbound journeys. youll need to buy a separate ticket to make this journey.
Have been able to add another journey from paris with no problem.
Appreciate any guidance.
I have also requested help from Interrail.
Many thanks, barbara

Sure you didn’t accidentally activated a travel day in the UK (your home country)? Can you check all your planned journeys?
For example: if you travel down from your home to London on day 0 by train and pass, and then take the Eurostar to the continent on day 1, you will have used up all your travel days for the return journey.
Here’s a tutorial on how to use your mobile pass: https://www.interrail.eu/en/interrail-passes/interrail-mobile-pass/getting-started
It seems complicated at first, but once you’ve got the hang of it, it’s pretty straightforward. The most important thing to remember is only to activate a travel day, until just before boarding your first train of the day (just minutes before) and the limitation of two travel days in your home country.
I don’t think it’s possible to change a mobile pass to a paper pass on such short notice, printing, shipping,… takes a while and it won’t be there before you leave I fear.

+1The message that comes up is outbound inbound journey used up. I've written to InterRail themselves but of yet to receive a spot response but we'll take it further with them. I looked into it a bit and it appears that you're only able to take one output outward and one inbound journey to your country of residence.
This wasn't anywhere in the advertising and so I booked Eurostar to Belgium and return to London and then I went on to the interail site and was able to reserve tickets again from London to Paris and from Paris to London.
Places where the complications seemed to have a risen.
I definitely my travel days have been perfect so far I'm only glad that I looked at my travel day a week before I traveled, as there is clearly a big glitch with traveling from the same country more than once.
The information from Interrail regarding the outbound/inbound rule is very clear:

I’m afraid that this rule is very clear and is not in any way hidden.

Since you won't get to Paris by Eurostar (unless you buy an expensive ticket) here are some alternatives: https://www.seat61.com/trains-and-routes/london-to-paris-by-ferry.htm
Newhaven is the easiest. Or there's always Flixbus or flights in case...
