What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on purchasing two oxen which I will use in farm work since I normally pay people to do the work but I am soon doing it on my own because the oxen will be ready to start working in four month's time. I also bought decent seats since I had the plastic ones, a second bag to keep my clothes and more clothes the family members.
