Hi Catherine, your getting to experience parts of Zambia you never thought you would... amazing!
Don't worry about that Patrick guy, your doing what you can (and a hell of a lot more than most) so try not to worry about it. and given that the others your working with have said the same you should just try and forget about him.
Its great to know that your obviously with some really good people that are looking after you. xx

Hi Hunny

We have a box of goodies for the children to send you. Have you got an address to send it to? Let us know asap.

Thanks, missing you lot's

Hello little one,

Sorry haven't be in contact earlier, I was waiting for your blog address from the other two little ones and final got the address yesterday.

So glad you got there safely, you have done so much in so little time. You are amazing!!! Reading your blog about the children and lack of clothes makes me sad, especially knowing it is upsetting you, I understand how upsetting it is I see the same in Goa. Chin up little one!

Have you found a little peanut boy!!!! As long as your smiling they will keep smiling.

Reading your blog is making me what to do something like you are sooner rather than later, but with starting the new job I may have to leave it a few years.

You take care, drink lots of water and alcohol. I best go before the tears appear.

Love you lots and lots

xxxx

Catherine I cant believe how much you have done in such a short time. Missing you loads already, but sounds like you are having a fantastic time and working so hard. LOTs and LOTS of LOVE xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

That last blog has just made me cry xx

Catherine, please send us the address of the orphange. I am sure lots of us back here want to send the children (especially those little boys) some toys or clothes. I can`t wait until you get back because it makes me too sad thinking of them with nothing.

Mammy

CATE!!! Your blog is fabulous, you should come back and be a journalist. The big rocks coming out of you. My ears have finally healed from Christmas Day! I am telling you girlfriend drink loads of water and keep away from those clubs!!! Wish i was there with you, adventures at my house are just as exciting! Take care xxxxxx

And I bet they know that Butch Cassidy is not Lloyds dad as well! Reading this blog makes me feel close to you (I can nearly hear you shrill voice from here)

Miss you so much my little princess xxxxx

Drink LOADS of water everyday!! Don't make me come over there!!!! And rememeber what I said in my email about seeing a doctor. I think you should bring one of the little ones home. They could sit in Joe's seat at the table, watch shall we dance with mum, go running for dad and tidy up after Soph. Sounds like you're having an amazing time xx

p.s. Susie I bet the little Zambian children know what the northern lights are
