Need some motivation!!

I don't post on here a lot but I've found all the advice to be great for getting debt free.

Trouble is now I feel like i've lost a bit of interest in it all which i know could lead to problems!

I did really well at the start and have got rid of my overdraft and stayed out of it now for 2 months :j

I think its just because I am so busy, I had great intentions of meal planning and budgeting more but never seem to have the time. I guess I've got to make time.

I think i just need a kick up the bum to get me going again!! Anyone??

Things are ok at the min but i don't want to slip back into the old habits that got me in debt in the first place iykwim.

    I find I get more motivated when I have been on here a bit. Read about the things others are doing and this often makes me think, why arent I doing that?

    Maybe have some pictures scattered around with things you want to do/buy (ie holiday/house/new car etc) when you are debt free?
