What did you spend your third transfer on?
I bought a bull to help us in ploughing we have two small bulls that are not able to be used to ploughing so we saw it fit to buy a much bigger one to supplement, I also used this transfer to pay school fees for my daughter who is in a disabled school she was previously receiving scholarship from a well wisher but he since has stopped so we have been paying for her fees hoping that this will change soon because her fees is expensive.
