What did you spend your second transfer on?
I used a portion of the transfer to buy building materials(iron sheets, nails, and timber). Bought a mattress and chairs. I also purchased foodstuffs for family consumption.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest different in my daily life is that my desire of owning an iron roofed house is at the verge of being realized since I've managed to purchase most of the building materials. This will see me out of the leaking grass thatched house I have at the moment.
