    You sound like a financial disaster about to happen so I would put a shiny quater on this loan being laughed at, made paper airplanes out of etc etc.

    Why would you have money out on loan with Zopa, while you have a loan to be paid for. Any spare money you have should applied to reducing the outstanding balance on your debts. Your debts will be costing you far more in interest than any interest you might be getting from Zopa.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.
