What did you spend your third transfer on?
I used my last transfer to plaster the walls and floor of the house this I did after building my house with the second transfer an the money was not enough to buy cement and plaster, I also bought steel doors and steel windows. Then I bought a bed and because the one I had before was small I gave it to the children.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent the larger part of my second transfer on building a spacious decent three roomed house in my own homestead which I have been wishing from the time I got married as a second wife. Now I am at peace, happy and more composed since I no longer have logger- heads with my co- wife. I also bought a mattress which I did not have .
