What did you spend your third transfer on?
I built this house with a loan which took me a while to repay it and the possibility of cementing it was null and void hence I spent the larger part of third transfer on cementing my house into a semi -permanent one and now I no longer incur frequent cost of smearing it as I used to which was very costly.I also bought a television set to update myself on the current news which happen in the country and the world at large.
