We’ve eventually got blinds. After buying some and finding that they didn’t have half the ingredients needed to put them up; trying to take them back Tuesday night only to get stuck in horrendous traffic (due to weather obviously!?!); taking them back the following night; finding some new ones (in a different store); going back to measure to be certain (experience shows you can never be too certain); and then going back again to buy them only to find the bleedin place shut it’s doors literally a second before I was going to walk through them... We now have blinds.

Next thing I suppose would be to put them up.
