What did you spend your third transfer on?
I was a poor woman, I never had so many things in this life, my daughter was sent home for fees, and she had stayed out of school for sometime for lack of money, so when I received my third transfer, I paid the money, and she was able to go back to school and continue with her studies. I also bought some household items like furniture and bedding.
