What did you spend your second transfer on?
I was really living in a very pathetic house-it was dusty and having potholes all over and therefore when I received my second transfer, I plastered the house with sand and cement. I am just very glad that as we talk, I live in healthier environment where people don't need to be worried of dust.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that currently, I live in a cemented house. My second transfer enabled me to plaster the house and I am very happy that my environment has tremendously changed-the dust has really reduced and again I am not worried of being infested with fleas anymore.
