What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on completing cementing my house that I had started plastering with the second transfer into a semi-permanent house from a mud one and now I am happy staying a clean environment with no dust and insect infestation. I fixed two steel windows and an internal wooden door on it. I
also added stock on to my second hand vending business but unfortunately one of the bale was stolen.
