What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer I paid whole year school fees for my daughter in a secondary school worth half of the transfer and spent the rest on 30 iron sheets. It is my happiness that this is going to be the longest year of rest and peaceful state of mind I am going to have this year. Besides, it is my excitement that I will be moving to my new home-I have already bought building materials.
