I want to activate Akismet & web stats plugins but to do so I need to provide my API Key. This is for a blog hosted on our domain rather than on wordpress.com (I can find the API key for the blog we have on wordpress.com)
I found the following instructions: Click on the My Account link in the top right corner of the window, and note the API key in the first paragraph under the heading.
But I do not have a 'my account' link and there is no paragraph in the 'my profile' page.
Searching the wordpress site hasn't helped me much so I hope someone here can help. Thanks.
"This is for a blog hosted on our domain rather than on wordpress.com (I can find the API key for the blog we have on wordpress.com)"
That key will work anywhere, and is the one referred to in the instructions you quote.

Even though they are two totally separate blogs? One is mine and one my partner's and that is the only onnection between them so I assumed I couldn't use the same API Key for both?
Thanks for the answer though :)

Yes. I use my Akismet API key on 7 different blogs/forums. All work fine. But if you feel iffy about it, re-register at wp.com for another key.

Follow the instructions Otto gave, Willy. Get your key at wordpress.com, then use it on your self-hosted blog.
