    There is nothing wrong going to the interview, say that you would really like the job, don't like being on JSA and are desperate to work, at any job, but at the moment are not sure how you would get home. Do they know anyone else in that position and whether there would be any chance to consider options or solutions. That would show a sense of entrepreneurship and they might very much like it and be prepared to help. If not, what have you got to lose anyway. At worse they will see you as a time waster...and??
    That is what I have been doing,

    and just to add, aren't you lucky that during school holidays, you get to spend all mornings and start and some of the afternoon with them, something many full-time working parents would consider a blessing...
    Well as it happens I am nearly 60 so no school age children to spend time with. When my children were small I was working full time and had to juggle child care just like you.
