Hey Guys! Tali here (i luv using this blog!!!) We have, yet again, been shopping (cos we're not obsessed or anything.....! lol!) Finally been able to have a proper look at the itinery - O. M. G... - IT'S AMAZING!!! Can't wait to go and see the huskies; i think I might swap my 2 westies for one! lol! AND THE WALRUSES!!! Does anyone else find them really cute or is it just me????
Right, preparations are coming along splendidly. Been bombarded with requests to bring back souvenirs, the strangest one being a polar bear's whisker. Hmmmm....... Anyway, being the local celeb hasn't managed to bag me any freebies yet!!! Completely gutted. lol!
Just got some of my pictures developed from the finals day - yay! They didn't come out very well - boo! Thank God they had a professional photographer there! The one on the ice edge website's simply fantabulous! We all loved the finals day, it was V.V.V.V. nerve-wracking but I think the best thing must have been the lunches. (Jokes - although the lunches were very nice) We all enjoyed the competition as a whole and loved working as a team cos we all have different talents which, when put together, made us invincible!!!! I wish! But yeah, we love working together and had some real laughs along the way (mostly at my stupidity and clumsiness, but that's not the point!) with our MENTOR, Mrs. Katie Broadribb, who is fantastic - we LUV U MISS!!!
What did we learn from the competition? Well, we learnt all about the industry that we were researching, obviously, but the thing that has had the most impact on all of us is the damage that has already been done to our planet, and the consequences of the future if we don't do something now.
Update you again soon!
Luv y'all - MWAH!!!! :-)

4 Weeks & 1 Day!!!!
OMG!!!!!!! We are sooooooooooo excited!!!! We've been shopping ever since we found out (but then again, we never miss an excuse to go on a MASSIVE shopping spree!!! lol!)
When we got back no-one believed we had won and it took a few days to sink in! Since then we have been the local celebrities. The next day we went to the BBC Radio Solent studios and did a section live on air! It was an amazing experience and we were even treated to a look behind the scenes at the BBC South Today studios(we sat on Sally's sofa!!!!!). Also we were asked to write a press release for the Southern Daily Echo (which, as far as we know, has not yet been published!) and had pictures taken for an article on the front of the Hampshire Chronicle. Although there are the downsides - having to explain to absolutely EVERYONE exactly what we had done to enter and also about where we are going.(not that that's a bad thing.....!)
We have been looking up on the internet about Svalbard and about the whole experience and it looks FANTASTIC!!! We want to say a MASSIVE thank you to our Geography teacher Mrs Broadribb who introduced us to the competition, also helped us with our entry and organising everything!!
We are now really busy trying to focus on our environment group within school and both implementing recycling and creating a garden with herbs and possibly vegetables in the future!!!
Luv y'all!!!!!! mwah!!! x..Natures Angels..x.x
