I know that this may be a bit cheeky but I gave up work in 2004 just before having ds and haven't worked since - I have never left ds, when he was 9 months old I got called up for jury service (something I have always wanted to do) but I had nobody to look after my ds so I had to postpone the Jury Service. I then got called up again last October but the date was my due date for dd - so again I couldn't do it, the court agreed to me not going again but sad that I may never be called up again ..... well - I have now been called up again for the 11th April onwards and really want to do it - I know it sounds silly but I am looking forward to some time without the dc's , but yet again I am in a position where I have nobody to look after the dc's - If you would be willing to help out or know someone that would be or even have any suggestions please let me know Thanks in advance
