What did you spend your third transfer on?
I took a certificate course in Early Childhood Development and I always wanted to advance, but I did not have the money to do so, so when I received my third transfer, I went straight and enrolled for a Diploma. I am happy that I am almost clearing the course come December and I will be lecturing too after that. The remaining I spent on buying a cupboard and utensils for my kitchen. I have face-lifted my house that was not so good-looking before.
