What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer, I felt some relief on repairing my house which could be frequently damaged by rain water. I opted to give plastering a first priority in order not to suffer from the problem anymore. Secondly, I purchased a gas cooker which had always been my desire following the kind of hardship I underwent looking for firewood for cooking.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the ease I have found in preparing my children breakfast every morning before they go to school as opposed to before when they could rarely have their breakfast in time and could in most situations go to school without breakfast.
