Most teenagers will be hoping for the latest phones and gadgets or designer clothes this Christmas - but one 13-year-old girl simply wishes to have a warm bath after her family were left without heating or hot water for three months. The north London family have been left to brave the freezing cold temperatures since September after their landlord failed to fix their boiler.
The heartbroken mum and her daughter were even given a course of antibiotics after becoming unwell as they battled to stay warm during the recent cold snap, MyLondon reports. Nina, 36, lives in Bigler Court on Atlip Road in Alperton in a home she shares with her husband and two children.
She feels she has been let down by her landlord, housing association L&Q, after she first reported a fault with the boiler to them back on September 5. The heating then stopped working entirely, and although the family weren't really using it at that point in the year, Nina decided to report it so the issue could be sorted in time for winter.
