What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on plastering my house which was by then made of mud and produced much dust which affected my family's health. I also constructed an extra room which could serve me both as a bedroom for my children and a kitchen. I am glad that my children no longer seek for accommodation from the neighborhood as was the case before.
