What did you spend your third transfer on?
I have always longed for a television so when I received my third transfer,I bought one. My children can now get entertained like the others. I also bought building materials that I used to expand my house that was so squeezed. The remaining I spent on bedding and school fees for my son who had just joined secondary school.These transfers have changed my life for the better.
