I've had three apps, and 1 system update sitting in my Mac App store since yesterday, yet, whenever I go to click 'Update all', or try and update apps individually, I get a 'Checking for updates' wheel, and can't do anything else within the App store. The top navigation buttons go grey, I can search but don't get any results, and I'm at a loss as to how to fix this.
Any ideas?

Hi Linc Davis,
THANK YOU! That worked a treat. I've never used these support forms, but you're a real star.
Thank you so much again 🙂
