Our boiler was turned off a month ago due to high C02 levels, so we've had no heating, hot water or washing machine for that time. The children have shivered through -7 temperatures with only two fan heaters to keep them warm. I'm on my fifth day off work while this gets sorted, I've taken days off for appointments where nobody has turned up, been to client meetings dirty. In addition to a large family and 3 jobs, I've had to wake up at 5am to boil kettles, go to the launderette twice a week, and wash dishes in freezing water. This isn't even the worst part..
Last year the boiler was turned off for high C02 levels. After a couple of weeks, it was fiddled with then turned back on. I noticed that I had dark circles under my eyes and a severe headache shortly afterwards, bought a C02 monitor but it was beeping continuously, (not the 3 beeps to indicate high C02) so I assumed it was malfunctioning and carried on. During the last year, my normally healthy children have had alot of days off school; the A grade student eldest has constantly complained of dizziness and taken days off, the kids were sick for ten days before getting antibiotics, I had to go from full time to part time in order to cope with all the days off. My health has deteriorated severely as well. I don't have any faith that even if I am told the boiler is fixed, it will be fixed, as they have told me this multiple times before and it wasn't true. I am currently compiling evidence that we have been badly affected by what has gone on. I've nearly left my job from sheer exhaustion at having to deal with freezing washes, an hour a night boiling kettles in addition to my already too busy life.
My AIBU is, I want to be moved (council property and we are hugely overcrowded anyway) as I can no longer trust them and don't feel safe here AIBU to request that we are moved immediately?
