you all keep asking if there is anything you can do
so here goes, does anyone have an xbox that I can buy as cheaply as possible
dd2 adores minecraft
dd1 has it on her xbox but she doesn't like letting dd2 play on her worlds

so I bought minecraft for dd2 on the really old pc we have upstairs for her birthday but it doesn;t have the ram to cope and wont play without constantly freezing

I'm trying to make them share but dd1 and 2 have a troubled relationship to begin with and dd1 is very much a gamer who is turning to her minecraft for comfort

I was wondering if you still have a social worker? You're going to need some practical help with funeral etc and the girls need some support :( and you
Can't believe its happened again

GlaikitFizzog · 13/05/2013 10:37

I don't have an xbox360, but I'm sure someone here will.

I'm so sorry you are having to go through this all again. You know you can tur. To us if you need anything. I'm in Scotland but still a couple of hours away from you. I'm so glad you have people around to look after you.

D0oinMeCleanin · 13/05/2013 10:52

We picked ours up on a FB selling group for £50, so I'd try there. Unfortunately my kids would kill me if I sold ours, but I'll keep an eye out and if any come up in my local area I'll let you know. I don't mind picking it up and posting it on for you.

You do mean Xbox 360 btw, the older, bog standard XBox doesn't connect to the interweb, so you wouldn't be able to download Minecraft.

AmberLeaf · 13/05/2013 11:08

You can sometimes get them on Ebay for a reasonable price.

This one ends soon, £52 inc postage, no bids on it as yet.

Oh god, there literally aren't the words, it is so hideously cruel.

Hopefully we can sort the Xbox. Hell, we'll buy her one if needs be. The poor mite deserves something to distract herself with.

Just text my bro but he sold his ages ago :(
Bugger.
I will ask if he knows anyone else with one...

CouthyMow · 13/05/2013 11:34

It sounds like a good idea for distraction.

Are you doing OK? Is your friend there yet?

You are all still in my thoughts.

fuzzpig · 13/05/2013 11:37

xbox 360 would be a fab idea. don't know anyone selling one but I really hope you can find one!

the photos are lovely xxx

LollipopViolet · 13/05/2013 11:57

Oh God Trinity, another who remembers your story here :(

Be kind to yourself, MN is here for you and will help you through this x

mummylin2495 · 13/05/2013 12:03

How much are they ? If you can't find a second hand one I'm sure we would all like to help out . Can't believe this is happening again. I still have the mail from the card people from the first time.sending you strength and love.

crazynanna · 13/05/2013 12:33

I can chip in to get one Smile

YoniBottsBumgina · 13/05/2013 12:39

CeX has them for £85, I work on one and we always have them in. That's with one controllee and they'll replace it if it does the red ring of death thing.

tribpot · 13/05/2013 12:42

Happy to help with the purchase of an Xbox 360 - via Paypal or whatever. Marking place on the thread.

MeerkatMerkin · 13/05/2013 12:44

I'll contribute towards an X-box 360 if we can start a fund? Then buy it on eBay/similar and send. I could set up a Paypal thing if anyone wanted to do that?

(I'm not a weird scammer, hopefully MN can testify, would just like to do something useful for the poor kid and the family, can't imagine the heartache. :()

mummylin2495 · 13/05/2013 12:45

Trinity, if you can't find one are you willing to accept help from us so that you can get one. Sorry should of asked you first before I posted about it.
