Thrifty Thursday

I couldn't share these on Sunday as I accidently left them in my sister's car.

Whilst wandering round the car boot I stopped by these lights and when I enquired how much they were the chap said I could have them for nothing. He said they had worked perfectly well when he packed them away in January from the outside of his house and if I wanted them I could have them.
I thanked him profusely and kept my fingers crossed.
My sister whispered to me as we walked away,'bet they don't work then!'
But lo and behold they do and very pretty they look too.
Can't get thriftier than free!

  9. What a nice chap. I wonder why he didn't want them, they're just the thing to brighten up the garden.
