What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on building a three room semi-permanent house as it was such a dire need in my life in that my previous house got burnt and my husband could not build for me due to the burden of polygamy . I took refuge in my co-wife's house, which was difficult, until GD came to my rescue.Thank you very much.
