Apart from Abl, AC, BM, Coll, FC, FS, LW, LI, MT, RS, Rel, SS and Z (some of which I am reducing), can anybody recommend any other sites with a reasonable loan flow?
I have set myself a limit of 1% per loan, but as a result I am finding it difficult to get anywhere near fully invested.

Thincats and unbolted, although with thincats have to be very picky and with unbolted not easy to get big amounts invested, but just fund it every so often and it willl do it all for you.

I wonder if maybe you just need a little longer, as most of my loans are significantly less than 1%. But it has taken time.

FundingSecure seems to be the only UK platform where there is a steady flow of loans. If you want to invest thousands quickly in 1% chunks you need to look at European sites like Mintos.

Octopus Choice (it's on the forum), I think that elliottm just suggested it too. It has in the past put 10% of a deposit into one loan, so don't deposit more than 10% of your total to be sure that you stay below 1%. I like it - it is the only P2P that I am increasing at the moment.

Just take it slow, no one ever made money by losing it faster.

Many thanks for the input. There are many sites and it's always useful to get the benefit of personal experience. I will look into your suggestions.
To put my original post into context: I have been investing for about a year and three quarters. I said that I set myself a limit of 1% in any loan, but usually it is much lower than that.
I have been reducing on a number of sites (low rates, poor DD, dodgy practices - I'm sure that you can put names to those from my list), and what with that, plus loans repaying on time (yes, that does happen) and early (grits teeth), I have the feeling that I'm treading water. Hence the request.
Thanks again.
