What did you spend your third transfer on?
I wanted to construct a permanent house since I was tired of smearing given that I am too aged to do that. So the whole of my three transfers I spent on buying building materials that I have since used to construct a nice brick house. I have not completed it, but I am hopeful that I will soon.
