I bought a mattress, bedsheets and iron sheets in my first transfer. I was sleeping on a bare bed without a mattress now I enjoy sleep thank you GD. I also hope to move from my grass thatched house with the iron sheets that I bought.

I hope to build a big house with iron sheets and burnt bricks using my second transfer. This will save me from the small grass thatched leaking hut
