What did you spend your third transfer on?
I used to cook outside as I did not have a kitchen and sometimes I could get scared more so when it was dark, so when I received my third transfer, I bought some building materials that I have since used to build a kitchen. I also bought a cupboard and utensils for my household. The remaining I used on buying clothing for my children as we received it over the Christmas. We celebrate Christmas with a lot of happiness.
