[QUOTE="jay hay-char, post: 1121848, member: 116810"] This is just my view, so please feel free to ignore it, but think very carefully before you put something in writing to her. Having a face-to-face row is no fun (and clearly she's the type who will turn any "difficult" conversation into an argument, no matter how tactful you are) but a letter is forever, and could provide a lasting cause of resentment that will re-surface every time you speak to each other. Most councils have a team whose job is to deal with problem neighbours and it might be worth involving them - their powers are limited but it's worth a try: however, in the first instance they will probably ask you to keep a record of incidents, and to be honest, I'd recommend doing that come what may, if you haven't started doing so already. The bottom line is that you shouldn't have to put up with rubbish like this, but it may be easier to resolve if there's a third party acting as an intermediary. I hope you can resolve this: we have occasional problems with one of our neighbours whose behaviour can be quite challenging (in my view, she is a borderline sociopath and is given to irrational outbursts of aggressive verbal behaviour). That's bad enough but at least she's not living the other side of a party wall from us.... [/QUOTE]
