What did you spend your third transfer on?
I had started plastering my house with the second transfer unfortunately I was not able to do the whole house so I used part of my third transfer on completion of plastering my house. I bought bedding to replace my worn out bedding. I also built a kitchen where my children are sleeping because they are of age I feel uncomfortable sleeping with them in the same house.
