What did you spend your third transfer on?
I did spend my transfer to renovate my house. I spent 4,500 KES to purchase cement, 2700 KES on sand and 4500 KES for labor. This was used in plastering the walls of my house and putting up a cemented floor. I bought a sofa set at 14,500 KES and acquired a new pair of uniforms for my children that costed me 5,100 KES. Having fees arrears I decided to clear it this costed me 5,000 KES. I spent the remaining amount on upkeep in my house.

I spent most of my second transfer to buy sofa set because I did not have decent seats. I bought two goats for rearing, bought a sack of maize for my family's consumption.
