What did you spend your third transfer on?
I had built a new house using my second transfer though I had not fitted the doors and windows, so I bought glass windows and a steel door and I have replaced the mat door I had. My house had very old furniture that I also replaced with new ones. I also have a daughter who is in secondary school and this has been one of the heaviest burdens I have, so I had to pay some arrears I had. The remaining amount I spent on corn for my consume.
