Squirt it with Roundup, i use this all around our place and it works... TIP. do not use in breezy weather, it kills everything it touches. Roundup is simply Monsanto's trademarked brand of glyphosate. Much cheaper to buy generic glyphosate concentrate and dilute as instructed (5L of Gallup 360 can be had for £25 on Amazon and lasts me a year or two of regular weed-killing) Thanks for the glyphosphate tip - useful for the allotment etc.

I'm over 52 loans.
Who knows what will default ?
My exposure to the "available" loans is ~ 1% of my SS book.
No 81, 20 or 77-80 in my portfolio.
Happy with this at the moment.

Ablrate (ABL) in Administration
ATR 532

The last email I received on the ATR and C******* loans was on August 19th.
An update was mentioned for Fri-26 with regards to the containers and "next week" for the ATR. Whilst this week would not have been unreasonable to 'promise' an update for, ABLrate did mention last week specifically and any holidays they may or may not be on would be known about at that point.

If everyone followed the same strategy then loans would be impossible to buy/sell Personally I try and taper downwards as loans approach nominal maturity.

Which do you consider to be "dodgy" loans? Personally I tend to sell any with less than 30 days remaining and reinvest that money into the new longer term loans. Everyone employs this strategy! Where are all of the sold short-dated/negative loans parts going? The "loan monster"? The loan monster is hungry, and enjoys eating 200k chunks at a time. Let us hope the garden centre deal is to his liking, so he will continue to eat well.

45 P2P 13 Equities 42 Cash (With 0% credit card debt netted off) Excl pension pot which is 100% equities. Unsure of the value of this right now as my employer's broker is moving at a snail's pace. I also get the feeling my "total" is alot less than many others here

Perhaps it's just been repaid. Not showing anywhere for the moment. Nope, a big hitter has just smashed A and D tranche for £170ishk. I hope you'll send them a banana (Queue is really light for both loans if you want to offload any more now)

I was going to invest £300 anyway. Perhaps 150 into the AE then 5*25 into the Cash shop ?

Diversify the P2P into a few other platforms - MT & SS potentially ?
Also how many bank accounts do you want to hold, TSB do 5% up to 2k, and Lloyds do 4% up to 5k - you can open up a couple with each, one for you and one with you and your 'Sig Other'.

Curiously there appears to be about 80k on sale, but only a queue of about 60k. So 20k being held/sold by SS themelves? Yes SS hold the £20k, some torag reneged on their purchase, never wired the funds and SS are left holding the loan. They also hold £30k of PBL35, £32k of PBL20, and some farmland. Blimey, And I feel guilty when I forget to wire £200 over
