Take a picture, print it out, write the window dimensions on it, go to dragonmart entrance HA or HB, find curtains you like, give them the picture, they'll work out the cost for the correct size and ask if you want rings or hooks, do you want blackout on the back (80% or 100%), do you want tie backs & wall hooks, do you need poles, what colour and design, do you want chiffon (nets). Then you tell them you want their little man to fit them and ask for the best price, then negotiate down. Couple of days later they'll be ready (unless you pay extra to have them done that day), go get them and the little man, load up your vehicle, take them home, watch little man fit them, take little man home or pay for his taxi. Job jobbed.

Only 4000 dhs a day to sort out your drapery dramas
You would be amazed what I can do with your curtains, especially if they have been neglected and in need of a touch up

And this is exactly why I love the BE forum -a sprinkling of sarcastic humour, a few cheeky wee random comments but always some great advice - off to try Dragonmart tomorrow - I mean how difficult cant it be to get a pair of cream curtains with blackout lining? - no pelmet, frills or pattern required. I don't even require the services of the interior designer of the ranches 'Tockalosh'
Muchas gracias everybody
