What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent the larger part of my third transfer on building a traditional house ( simba) for my son and now I feel happy seeing him next to me as opposed to before when he had to go sleep at his uncle's house who stays in town and walking at night worried me since he could be attacked by thieve or wild animals, at the same time on rainy season he used to be rain on or he had to stay late waiting for the strong rain to stop which was risky . I paid school fees 5,000 KES for him.I also bought seeds (tomatoes and beans ) to plant on my farm which I have and as I speak to you I am spraying insecticides on them.
