What did you spend your third transfer on?
I used a portion of my third transfer on iron sheets, timber and nails which I have used to build my new house and a pit latrine because I was living in my late co-wife's house since I did not have my own house and also I did not have a good pit latrine in my compound. The remaining amount, I spent to buy a sack of maize for consumption.
