I spent my second transfer on building a spacious decent four roomed house.

What did you spend your first transfer on?
Due to the nature of my house, I couldn't wait to start buying iron sheets for the preparation of my iron-roofed house. I spent the whole of my first transfer on 7 iron sheets.
What are you planning to spend your upcoming transfer on?
My house is too tiny to accommodate us all and therefore I will still insist on building a new house using the whole of my upcoming second transfer.
