What did you spend your third transfer on?
By the time I received my third transfer I didn't have any seats except for a stool so I used a larger portion of it to buy furniture so I do not borrow anymore from neighbors whenever I have visitors. I also used part of the transfer to buy both clothing and food for my children so that they could also look smart like other children.

Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference inbmy daily life is that I have much peace knowing that I will soon construct and own a more decent house. After my husband's death, I thought life had ended for me too because there was no one left that I could look up to but thanks to GD I am able to live a decent life again. My husband left me in a poor conditioned house and I thought I would live in it for the rest of my life but no, I will soon own a better one.
