What did you spend your second transfer on?
I built an iron roofed house. I also bought school uniforms, clothes.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference is that my children could regularly be sent home over fee arrears, but they have since been settled. I had a small house but now I have a spacious one which can comfortably accommodate my guests.
