What did you spend your second transfer on?
With my second transfer, I constructed a kitchen @10500 Kes, bought a bicycle @10200 Kes and bought a cow @8500 Kes. I also built a cow shed, bought a solar panel, cushions, sufurias, paid merry-go-round, paid school fees and bought school uniform and food with part of the transfer. I still have 5000 Kes with me which am planning on the day to day needs.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that my younger children have a place to sleep in after I constructed my own kitchen. This has enhanced their security since they do not have to go sleep in their brother's house which is far away from my main house. I also have a place to cook hence I no longer cook outside where I used to get so worried when it was about to rain.
