**August 2012 - Make £10 a day challenge **

Oh! Blessed - Id never even thought of people using it fraudulently, but I guess that it makes sense now I think about it! Shame though. But on the plus side, when you come to sell the iPad, you will get a better price having the original box with it

Aesop

there will always be fraud on ebay, no matter what you sell.

people buy empty perfume bottles so they can refill them with fake perfumes and sell them off as the real thing.

there are other empty boxes still on there Blessed. Wonder why they picked on you? and some of the listings actually sell empty ipad box.....

My favourite cashier was back from her hols today so was able to get more coupons accepted and so save more on groceries. Now got £12.05 to add to total.

£20.20 in from TCB today - hoping to scrape a bit more in before Friday!

Oh and almost forgot, £2.70 saved on tea from amazon using a coupon code they e-mailed to me - worked out a fair bit cheaper then the supermarket so happy with that and even better used my swags vouchers to buy so felt free!

LMac - thanks so much, loads of things I was unaware of. I'm such a novice so it's all really helpful.

I will try to surpass my 24 items next time the free weekend comes along. I suppose it just takes a bit of practice and familiarity with the site.

I've decided to do at least one MSE thing a day to keep me on track. If I think about it like that it sounds manageable and there are a multitude of things to try.

Now off to Fatbrain some books! And then fill in my vet insurance forms to claim back for my very expensive dog and his mystery trip to the emergency out of hours vet!

I am such an amateur at the ebay stuff - so a thankyou from me to Lmac and everyone else for the helpful hints. (Ten items took me what felt like all day. And they are not even being looked at.) Must do better!

Anyway - tesco 10p petrol coupons and a little mystery shop payment have added £31.80 and brought me within spitting distance of this months target.

Nothing to add for me today. I have quite a bit in the pipeline but not sure whether I will get it before the 31st.
I knew this month would be a struggle and would have had a terrible total without the tesco double up and swagbucks. I may double up on another voucher tomorrow on frozen food. Might have to cash in my £2 coin stash to reach the target.
I have lots of stuff to ebay but I just can't get motivated.
Well done everyone who have reached their target and very well done for those who have tried.

A few more pennies have trickled in today - found 1p, 40p for surveys and 99p from eb4y, so £1.40 added to my total to take me just over target...woop..woop!!
