Curtains / Blinds
Hello helpful people,
I have two options:
1. Get someone round to re-hang the curtains we have (came with the apartment) because I didn't pay attention to how it was done, think there are hooks missing and each time I've tried they've looked awful.
OR
2. Get some new curtains / blinds made and hung / fitted.
So, my question to you lovely folks is: anyone done either of these and can recommend a reasonably priced yet reliable firm please? Or do I just start ringing any on the internet I can find?
Thanks in advance.

You're in Dubai: Definitively you need to buy new when you lose a few hooks.

Oh, and they are curtains. In a rented flat.

SCAMP i've used the same guy/company for the last few years...he'll come over to you with samples, take measurements of your window/s and once you agree on what you want and the price, he'll get them made and installed. He is very good.
Make sure to get curtains with blackouts.

I don't have curtains or blinds. Never have issues with the sun waking me up. Try it?

Cool. I imagine you sleep on the floor and don't have doors and hang meat outside because it's cheaper than having a fridge too.

I'd rather you took the piss or cracked some jokes than suggest I don't buy the thing I need and want to buy. It's the most deliberately unhelpful thing in the world.
Now, pull yourself together.

Besides, I did give you a suggestion. Your body will eventually adjust and get used to the light. That was my good deed for the day.

The curtains are for the living room where my Mum might spend a few nights over Xmas, so it doesn't matter if my body will adjust or not I'm afraid.
I think I'll just stick to google.

It wasn't meant to be patronising it was meant to be taken just as it was, I'd rather you took the piss than suggested stupid things.

Anyway, Ikea does curtains on the cheap. Even Carrefour sells them. Just be sure you have the right rods and all that. My sister recently bought one of these old Victorian houses with 12'ft ceilings and she went out and got basic Ikea curtains and it actually looks half decent.
