What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer, I used mos of it to plaster my entire house which used 15 bags of cement and a lorry of sand, in order to make my house more durable, attractive and easier to clean. I then used 7000 to buy a sofa set because I had no seats in my house. The balance was all used on buying foodstuffs for my family, since we had also run short of food in the house.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that my house is now plastered, thus I don't send time ad money on repairing the walls anymore.
