What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent most of the third transfer to buy cupboard l now have a place where to keep my utensils safe as compared to before when l was keeping my utensils in a basins where they were not safe because anything could nock them down. I also spent the transfer to buy cow bull, this will save from waiting for other people's cows to work on my which will take too long. The remaining balance l spent to pay school fee arrears after they were sent home and l could not pay the money, being that l do not have any stable source of income.
