What did you spend your third transfer on?
I had bought 30 iron sheets with the second transfer and therefore when I received my third transfer, I added 10 more then constructed a bigger house of 40 iron sheets. Since I constructed the house, my children and guests have got a bedroom and therefore I don't need to be worried of my privacy anymore as before when I lived in a very tiny house.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am happy and confident since I have bought the necessary building materials hence I am hopeful of building a decent spacious four roomed house which I have been dreaming of in a long time since at the moment I am staying in a small squeezed house which cannot fit my family members comfortably.
