Getting my own back on my neighbour?

I accept I am probably going to be got at more, but I am at the end of my tether.

I live alone in the upstairs flat of a one up one down maisonette. I'm very quiet and boring! My neighbour downstairs is HORRIBLE. She calls the council when I have my niece and nephews over for sleep overs (only twice a year). Bangs on the door telling us to be quiet (we are literally only talking, the children are so good). If I play music during the day, normal regular, not too loud music she calls the council. I think the council are sick of her, but they can't say. We share a garden and it's pretty clear she upset my plants and turned over the pots, It's all just too much. I did DIY, put up some IKEA wardrobes and she called building control saying i was doing unlawful works! They came round and I had to show them my wardrobes.

I just want to do something back to her. I know it sounds bad, but sometimes you have to push back on a bully.

What could I do that is annoying, but totally lawful? I won't turn over her plants or anything, thats horrible to the plants. I thought about painting my part of the house an awful colour!!! It would drive her mad! I'm sure!

I'm just so fed up.

I am loving some of the suggestions here. Come back to us and let us know the reaction to the burning bag of shit!!

If you're going to post some shit to her, do remember to use a self-sealing envelope.

Have a party

Report her to the council and police for harassing you.

Each and every time she does it.

Don't get into revenge- you will only escalate this.

I read LOTS of leases for my job. I have yet to see one that says no noise ever. It’s normally no music audible between say 11pm and 7am.

Wind chimes. Nice gentle wind chimes. Your neighbour will hate them But attach them outside your window so they can't get at them to take them down
