Just to make it clear, the uterine fibroids mentioned before for Zosia, are (in her case) small, non cancerous tumours that were removed via an operation which is why she had the sick leave :)


6pm

Jonny, Mo and Mr T, laden with carrier bags, arrived outside the busy chip shop. It can't have been opened for very long earlier because now, it was packed. One of the queues stopped just inside the door so the trio stopped outside and looked at the menu in the window despite the fact that it was freezing, though the fog had lifted whilst they were in tescos so they could see better now.
"Oh thank god they do curry sauce." Jonny sighed. "If they didn't, Jac would probably have my head on a platter." He stated.
"Oh. My. God." Mo whispered.
"What?" Mr T asked worriedly.
"They do deep fried mars bars!" Mo squealed. "And deep fried pizza. And a munchy box! Look at that!" Mo pointed to a blue box on the menu.

Munchy Box - £5.99
- Doner kebab meat, chips, naan bread, southern fried chicken, onion rings, chicken tikka, salad and chicken pakora. (Serves 1-2)

"Yeah our takeaways thrash yours." Jonny smirked. "By the way, when it says it serves one to two, it really means it serves two or three. I can't finish one myself and as you know Maureen, I have a bloody big appetite." Jonny stated.
"Right, shall we share one then Mo?" Mr T suggested.
"Yep." Mo smiled.
"Um, are you planning on eating here or taking it back?" Jonny queried.
"Not sure. Why?" Mo asked.
"Would you mind eating here? only if Jac knew what they do then she might buy the whole shop out." Jonny asked hopefully which made Mo smirk because Jac probably would do that.
"Yeah sure." Mo smiled.

"Right, I'll meet you back at the cabin then." Jonny said before he entered the shop. After queuing in one of the three lines, Jonny ordered 2 large chips, 2 pots of curry sauce (he didn't want to risk Jac running out of it) and 2 sausages in batter and then headed back on his own. He had one arm lagged down by loads of carrier bags filled with food for the trek, and in the other hand, he had the smaller carrier bag filled with their dinner.

He had also grabbed a menu, because he planned on treating everyone to a mini buffet of the Scottish take away when they got back to the cabin, in just over a week after the trek. But he was going to hide the menu from Jac so that she didn't see it.

Luckily, Mo had just managed to grab a table upstairs whilst Mr T was queuing so they both sat down at the table for two, and opened the box of heaven...


Harry and Gemma were both eating in the kitchen after cooking their dinners because Jac was in a foul mood because she was hungry. She was remaining silent with her arms folded across her chest and her knees up to her bump on the sofa, but when somebody spoke to her, she snapped at them until she won the non-existing argument.
"Try some of this." Harry said as he had some macaroni cheese on his fork. He fed it to Gemma and she -as expected- liked it.
"Have some of mine then." Gemma smiled as she put a bit of pasta and the chunky tomato sauce on her spoon. She held it towards Harry but he screwed his face up in disgust. She shook her head in disbelief that a grown man could be so picky with his food. They soon finished their meal and then went back to their room where their double bed was still covered in the carrier bags filled with food.

"Right, our bags our about equal weight at the moment." Harry stated after he lifted his hiking bag in one hand and Gemma's in the other. "And I'm not saying I'm stronger than you, but I'll carry more because I've got more room in my bag." Harry explained as they tipped all of the food out of the carrier bags and onto the bed. They didn't have to worry about putting anything in the fridge, or being gentle because they wouldn't have fridges when they were trekking, and their food would probably get squashed. They had already put their pots of porridge the kitchen cupboard and bottle of milk with their names written on it in the fridge ready for tomorrow.

"Fine with me." Gemma smirked. The less she carried, in her opinion, the better.
"How have you possibly got that much stuff?" Harry queried. "I've filled up about half of my bag with my things, and you've filled yours up about three quarters of the way." Harry stated.
"I'm a girl. I need more things." Gemma stated.
"Such as?"
"Make up, bras-"
"We're here for 9 days. How many bras do you need?" Harry moaned.
"Well, I've got 5." Gemma stated bluntly.
"What?!" Harry shrieked.
"Well we're gonna get sweaty, wet and smelly so I'd rather be able to change every other day." Gemma explained and Harry shook his head.


6:10pm
"Honey, I'm home!" Jonny joked as he shut the cabin door behind him. He walked through to the lounge where Jac was sitting and now her face had lit up compared to her little sulk she had been having since he had left. "I'll just put these on our bed." Jonny stated after he handed Jac the bag with their dinner in it. He dumped the shopping bags on their double bed before he joined his partner int he lounge and sat next to her on the sofa. She had already pulled the coffee table in front of her and placed the cup of curry sauce in front of her. She had her chips and sausage in batter wrapped in paper on her lap and she had already dug in.

"Right, I suppose we'd better go shopping eh?" Michael said as he cleared his throat and stood up. Sacha agreed and he and his friend soon left for the shop. Arthur then left to go to the kitchen to cook his dinner leaving just Jac and Jonny in front of the TV with the local news on.

"How are my girls?" Jonny asked kindly.
"Satisfied with food." Jac smirked as she ate another chip, drenched in curry sauce.
"I think I've got enough room in my bag for most of the food so you won't have to carry too much more." Jonny said to make conversation. "When... You said about heartburn, piles, headaches, your leaky bladder, constipation an' all that... Are you managing it? Or... Well, what're you doing about it?" Jonny queried quietly. He was only asking then because there was no one else in the room, and he knew she'd be in a better mood because she had food.

"I can deal with it." Jac stated quietly as she continued to eat. It wasn't a subject that she wanted to talk about.
"Yeah but... Alright then, if I stop talking about this now, will you promise to tell me when something plays up, or if your uncomfortable or whatever? Please?" Jonny queried.
"Fine." Jac mumbled.
"Thank you." Jonny smiled. "Ooh, I'll be right back." Jonny said as he carefully laid his dinner on the table and quickly popped to the bedroom. He soon returned with two, screw cap bottles of apple and mango J20. "The others are having a few drinks so, I got us these." Jonny smiled as he sat down next to Jac, out the two bottles on the table and put his dinner back on I his lap again.

"You're not drinking?" Jac queried.
"No. It's not fair if you can't and then I go and get pissed." He stated. "Besides, I'd much rather stay sober and watch the others lose their heads. And in the morning, we'll get to watch the others suffer." Jonny smiled.


Zosia and Guy arrived home to find Jac, Jonny, Arthur, Gemma and Harry watching TV in the lounge. Guy had gotten a portion of chips and had them on the way back, whilst Zosia had eaten near enough nothing, the entire day. The pair decided that they would go and pack their food into their bags whilst the others were settled in front of the TV. Sacha, Michael and Elliot were all going down to tescos to shop so it was just the pair of them in their room.

"Zosia, why aren't you eating?" Guy asked softly as he dumped his shopping bags on the double bed.
"I am, I'm going to eat something in a minute, I just want to pack my things away first." Zosia lied. She hoped that her father would go and watch TV with the others so she could stay in her room for a while and then come out and say she had eaten. The last thing she wanted was her dad to know what was happening with her reproductive organs at that time of the month, even if he was a medical professional.
"Is there something wrong with you? You can tell me." Guy said as he walked round the other side of the bed and put his hand on his daughter's arm to comfort her.

"I'm fine. Honestly, go on, just go and watch TV or whatever. I'll be- I am, fine." Zosia stated.
"Alright. Well get some rest, you look a little tired." Guy said softly before he left the bedroom, finally leaving Zosia alone.
