Alex - We've had a good day today and we are all getting along quite well. I really enjoyed pulling the sleds today. Tea was nice too - beef stoganoff or sweet and sour - yummy! Our tent is great too, much better than the boys' one.

Emily - It's our first night out in a tent which is really scary. It doesn't have a floor either so we are sleeping directly on the snow. I don't mind though and I will sleep easily tonight as I am absolutely knackered.

Lewis - I haven't been happy today and I've had a rough time today. I'm also on cooking duty tonight which is a pain. I have to fix my nose guard for my goggles too, but the others keep asking me for hot drinks. My boots froze last night and had ice blocks in them. That won't happen again!!

Jennielyn - Today's been really hard today as we had to build an igloo. I've been making bricks for the igloo and it's not as easy as it looks. It takes ages and you've been so careful and tried so hard and then it breaks! It took me about 25 minutes to cut out one brick, I'm not exaggerating! And then after all that it broke! I'm going to sleep in the igloo tonight. I'm going to try it out 'cos I know I'll so regret it if I don't. What a brilliant place to sleep, and I know I'll be warmer in the igloo rather than in a tent.

Emily - It's been our first day on expedition and I've really enjoyed it. We've been on our sleighs with the huskies. We've been having the best time ever, I was singing the whole way on the sledge. We've now got to our destination for the evening and we're setting up camp and we've just got all our tents up and it's really nice and cosy. The girls are all cooking in their tent and the boys are all cooking in their tent.
