What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on plastering my 3 roomed house for 30,000 KES since the soil here is poor and without plastering ,it washes off when it rains and the walls gape thus becomes a bother. I also bought a heifer for 14,000 KES, in the hope that it will calve and provide me an ox that will support my ploughing, since I m tired of using my hands all these years.
