What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I plan to spend my transfer on buying a piece of land where I can build my house because I'm tired of renting a house.

The achievement I am proudest of is that I managed to educate my son up to class eight single handedly with my little income and I'm happy that he is now going to join form one.
