What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on purchasing building materials and constructed an iron roofed house. I previously possessed a grass thatched house which was seriously leaking. I always got much worries whenever it rained when I was away from my house as the leakages allowed in too much water which spoilt my household items.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have managed to acquire a very good house that my husband could not have afforded if he would have still been alive .
