What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent the larger part of my second transfer on buying 20 water pipes and now I no longer hire water pipes to sprinkle water on my farm.I bought 30 pieces of iron sheets since I am planning to build a spacious three roomed house as the place I am staying at the moment is a water logged ground thus I experiences dampness in this house making my health and my family's to be at stake.I also paid school fees for my child who is in high school and bought one and half bags of maize.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am relieved from the burden of paying school fees for my child who is in high school and this gives me joy when I see her attend school every other day as opposed to before I received the transfer when she was being sent home for school fees frequently.
