What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent the larger part of my second transfer on buying building materials such as 35 pieces of iron sheets and two steel windows hence I am hopeful that I will achieve my goal of building my dream house since the house I am staying in at the moment is old house and I am insecure of it collapsing while I am in it. I paid school fees for my daughter who is in high school and cultivation fees hence this planting season have not practiced a manual way of cultivation that is the use of hands.I bought one sack of maize to feed on and seeds for planting.
