Picked up a great bargain

Looks like i`m on a roll, two posts in a week.....
I must be bored...lol
Last week I picked myself up a great bargain...
I`m forever looking for just that right thing to go into my garden...
I have so many statues and I wanted something totally out of the ordinary...
But I didn`t want to pay a fortune for it....
I was at the right place at the right time by the looks of things...
Now the original price was $49.99...
Way too much for this mother who tries to stick to a budget....
I nearly fell over backwards when I saw how much it had been reduced too...
$5...
Yep...
Couldn`t get it into my trolley quick enough....lol
It now sits proudly above my fish pond....

  3. Hi Mandy
    Great bargain, I love it. Bugger any religious themes, it's a "feature". I have a look at Telstra Bigblog every now and then. Isn't it interesting that it can be so combative there that you needed to stress on your Telstra blog about it just being an ornament, but not here?

    Don't know why that is. Maybe because of its way of showing all the recent posts so people feel compelled to comment and/or force their opinon on others. Whereas here no one finds you unless they are really looking or you have a link on another blog???

    Or maybe just by default all of Telstra's customers are cranky?

    Anyway, great bargain.

  9. Mandy!

    I have the exact same statue (but in stone). It's been in a post where I made Jez into Indiana Jones in Photoshop.

    Amazing!

  14. Hey the old crowd has joined us here. Goody goody, much faster than big pond.
    I'm coming shopping with you. I never see such bargains.
    A great statue to hang near the pond.
    If you go to your profile and click on an interest you get lists of people with the same interest as you.
