Default Outdoor Electrical Supply

Probably been asked before, but I understand the concept, I just need a
cheap supplier!

Currently in our utility room there is a handily placed (no RCD) socket
for outdoor use, I'm using this for the lawnmower for example. The
previous house owner has run a twin+earth wire down to the pond,
presumably this was being used for a pump/fountain (I'll never know
seeing as they thoughtfully just snipped the outdoor end clean off). I'd
like to set this back up - only a little bit more permanently. What I'd
like to do is make the existing socket RCD protected, and also make the
outdoor a spur off it with an RCD socket outside. Unfortunately this is
expensive. The indoor RCD socket is only about 20 quid, but the outdoor
(single or double) I've seen priced anywhere from 40 to 80 quid. That's
more than the pump it's going to run!

Anybody recommend somewhere that might be cheaper - or find a cheaper
way round it that I haven't thought about?

Thanks
