What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent the larger part of my second transfer on building a spacious three roomed house 30,000 KES which I have been long for in a long time since the house I was living in before was a grass thatched house.I bought furniture such as sofa set seats and a table.I also bought household utensils.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am having a peaceful sleep at night since I am no longer worried of being rained on as I have built a decent Iron sheet three roomed house from a leaky grassed thatched one as a result I feel comfortable welcoming my visitors to my new house.
