A WOMAN has told how she's so "wound up and frustrated" by her neighbour's young son kicking his football at her fence that she's decided to take very drastic action.
The anonymous woman vented her anger on Mumsnet, where she explained that her next door neighbour is a single mum who doesn't work and is "always" home with her 11-year-old son.
In the post, she penned: "I get on with her but he kicks a football against my fence everyday and despite the force cracking the strengthening rod, footballs coming over everyday and the noise, I never complained."
"I have stopped sitting in the garden as you can't enjoy it with constant thud against the fence and being watched.
"Well today I felt like I had enough and I was hanging out washing when he his football hit the fence so hard and I shouted for him to stop."
The woman went on to say how his mum came out and they had a loud shouting argument which resulted in her swearing at her neighbour – something she quickly regretted.

"I have called an estate agent to put my house up for sale but my ex thinks I'm overreacting and I care too much about the garden," she explained.
The post was inundated with messages from social forum users – with very mixed responses.
"Sounds awful. I’d have to move," wrote one.
A second commented: "Falling on hard times doesn't mean one can just go and damage someone else's property."
A third agreed: "I don't think it will get better OP. Inconsiderate neighbours can make life difficult."
Meanwhile, another penned: "Yes, you do obviously think you're a cut above them, but I don't think it's snobbish to be annoyed that your neighbours have damaged your fence and kick a ball repeatedly."
If you're a teacher, it's best if you don't get into public shouting matches with other people. You're not fitting in to this area and I think you should move."
A further quipped: "Yes you are entitled to peace and quiet in your garden."
