This is why I have said I am willing to take responsibility and say I have been in the wrong here in regards to contact - I know better now and this whole situation, while not ideal has been a learning experience for me and I will be altering my work practices from now on.

Every email I have sent to the aunt has also been sent to the client, including emails asking for clarification on aspects of their suit that I need to be able to work on their suit - I have had no response from the client in any way.

The client is not unwell, in fact has been very active locally attending furmeets and visiting people - they have also been active daily on FA, Facebook and twitter. In case they were genuinely not reading my emails I also requested for the aunt to specify to her that I require information to continue working as there are details on markings I am unclear of due to the reference sheet not being 100% clear - I also asked her partner if he could just ask her to reply to the confirmation messages, if she was not wanting to read the rest of the correspondence just so I can continue and she can have her suit in a timely manner. I literally just need her to say "yes" or "no" to clarify something for me so I can continue.
