Lucy Hi guys, I have spent another hour trying to upload photos and had basically no luck. I'll show you the summit photos when I get home. I think a few photos of the route up got on there, so at least you can see what I look like! Speak to you soon xx

Auntie Marg Wow What an incredibly brave girl you are!!!! Congratulations Lucy. Reading your blog made me feel as if I was with you. Can't wait to see your photo's. It doesn't seem possible that you will be home next week. We are all longing to see you. I spent the day with your Nana and Auntie Joyce yesterday and they both send their love. We were looking at old photographs and talking about you - you really have achieved so much in a short time. I can't tell you how privileged I feel to have been able to share in your experiences by reading your blog and keeping up to date with all your news. Thanks Lu. Take care darling. Loads of love Auntie Marg

Mum Well done Lu! Fantastic achievement, very proud of you! Looking forward to seeing you again next week, where have the four months gone? Enjoy your last few days, love you loads, Mum & Alan

Auntie Marg Hi Lucy Good to know that things are still going well for you. Chris had a terrific 50th birthday party and it was great to see Sam but we really missed you and also Chloe who was performing on the last night of the play. Your Nanna and I went to see it last Thursday at Bodmin. It was really funny and we enjoyed it. (Despite the language)!! Very busy at the moment and your Nana has visitors so I haven't seen her this week. I was in trouble last week for not sending her love to you so I'm sending a double batch this time. She misses you of course and needless to say we are all really proud of you. Glad to hear that you are having some fun as well as working hard. Loads of love as usual Auntie Marg

liz carne Hi Lucy! Just caught up with all your blogs. I lost the website address, but now I've found it again. It sounds like you are having the most amazing time. Your work in Mochi sounds very interesting. Have you thought of writing a book about your exploits? You could make a fortune...Then there's the TV series!!!!!! Enjoy the sunshine and heat. It is cold here again today with gales of wind! Brrr! I was in school yesterday with the year 3/4 class. Saw your Mum. Alan was away on residential. Enjoy the last few weeks of your adventure. Liz

Lucy Thanks for the messages everyone! I can't believe it's all nearly over. I miss you all loads. See you very soon xxxxx

Auntie Marg Hi Lu I would have been sending messages but as you know your Nanna and I have been doing our own travelling and have literally arrived home half an hour ago. The first thing I did (after making myself a cup of tea) was to check your site and here I am at 1.40AM.!!!!Pleased to hear that you are feeling better and so proud of you for coping with everything so well. The job sounds amazing and if it is what you want to do Go for it. We will all be missing you once again but it sounds like a wonderful opportunity for you. We have had a great time in Tenerife and I took loads of photos. My house feels like an ice box. No doubt we will soon acclimatise. You will be having the same problem soon. Really looking forward to seeing you. Loads of love Auntie Marg

Chloe :) xx Hola dear sister!!! I was the only one leaving you messages because I'm the most ultimately proudest - see I knew I'd prove it in the end. I'm so glad you're getting better again! I've been having an alright time back here - but I'm beginning to feel thicker than ever! - College is so hard. Anyway...I'm trying to be positive and keep on smiling. I haven't done much since I last spoke to you. Just been at college for the week. Had a rehearsal on sunday - still not looking brilliant and I've got another one on Sunday!! (Think Mum's a bit gutted no-one's gonna be with her on Mother's Day - but I think we might do something tomorrow instead!) I went out last night for a friend of Tim's birthday. We went to Xen Noodle Bar for a meal and then to the cinema to watch this really weird film called 'Gran Torino' it was alright though and I had such a laugh. Anyway...going to get some lunch cos I'm so hungry!!! I still miss you so much :) not long now and I'm gonna give you the longest fattest hug in the world!! I mean that prepare for a whole day at least!!! Love you so much, Chloe xxx

Debbie & Chris Hi Lu Haven't forgotten about you, seen you on Facebook so been keeping up with your travels, etc. What a great oportunity for you in Dubi if it goes ahead. Next winter is going to seem so long after the very short one you had last year, so make the most of the heat, sunshine and opportunity. Chris is back at work now after nearly a month off and seems much better. He is looking forward to his 50th though will miss you being there. All your mum's sisters, brother and in-laws will be at your mum's for mother day to make up for you not being there (2nd best will have to do!!!). I have to have a hernia operation in 3 weeks, which I am not looking forward to, but we do have a weeks holiday before that for Chris's birthday which is still a secret for Chris. Off to pick the twins up now. Take care. Lots of love Auntie Deb & Uncle Chrisxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Kate Simpson Hi loopy! Glad to hear you are feeling better! and that everything is good! the job in Dubai sounds amazing! you should definatley do it if it comes through!! you must be making a real impression on the people that you are working for and with! so very proud of you! Things here are much the same, we had our first proper brighton gig last night and it went really well! And today we had an amazingly sunny day, very warm! hurray! summer is coming!! Chris and i are heading down to cornwall next week for a month which we are both looking forward to very much! Rob is in America now with rosie and the gold bugs! lucky thing! i think they are going to New York, New Jersey, texas and finishing in LA! So he is off living the life at the moment!
