What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent most of my first transfer to buy sand, cement and paints which I have used to plaster my house and paint my house to make it look beautiful. I bought a new mattress because the one I was using was small and uncomfortable. I paid school fees for my grandchild who had been sent home for school fees and the remaining amount I spent to pay my medical bills and to buy food for my family.
