Campervan Challenge

Hi All.

as you can tell by my name and by the post title We want a campervan.

I am looking approx at £12000 investment needed my issue is i have a kitty of £11.06 lol I started this week. I understand its going to take a while but ultimatly I am looking to get this as quick as possible.

We want it to go away as a family and to start the holiday as soon as we get in the van.

its kinda been both my wifs and my dream to get one since we were both young. and i have now made the commitment and am going to do it as much of a surprise as possible for my other half.

So how am i going to do this.

well this is where i am hoping for your help and input.

so far the ideas i have
  • saving my loose change at the end of the day into a kitty
  • any incentive / overtime payments sliding a bit off to the fund.
  • Go Fund Me hoping for the generosity of others to help
  • I often get free bets with some online bookmakers using the free bet and putting the winnings (if any)to the fund
and thats how far i am at the moment. Any further ideas welcome any threads i should look at or view please let me know.

Thanks

Keith and family and our eventual Camper
