What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on topping up to buy a new motor cycle after selling my old one which I had bought second hand over 3 years ago.I had a rough time with my old motor cycle since I had to have it repaired frequently for it to keep functioning, which consumed my earnings and also time resource. However, since I got grant support from GD and bought a new one, I have gained efficiency , resulting to improved earnings and savings. In a period of 3 short months, I have already build a new 2 roomed kitchen using the proceeds from my new motor cycle . I thank you very much.
