How cross would you be with neighbour?

I'd build a high fence for starters and section off your property, and be careful complaining about noisy neighbours, a woman just got stabbed to death for doing what you did - next time ring the police x

I had a party (shock horror!) in the summer. My birthday fell on a saturday so we had a BBQ which turned into a party in the garden, maybe 15 people there by the end i guess. It lasted until 230am. Do i feel guilty? Not one bit! Ive lived here 7 years and this is my first party, it was a saturday, I'm the only one that does shifts and theres no young babies near by.
It was a one off and that is how you should see this!

You didn't start it at 01.00 with a live band though so slightly different but.... how could you be so sure that the neighbours weren't going somewhere early the next morning? Catching an early flight or something?

OP I am wondering how the neighbours on the other side reacted.

I'm sorry but ... blanking them / planning revenge ... all sounds rather childish to me.

Okay they were inconsiderate but retaliating is generally a sure fire way for things to start escalating until you find two households at war with each other.

Why not simply go round, have a polite conversation with whoever is the "head" of the family - be that the father, the mother or in some multi-generational households it could even be gran or grandad - and discuss what happened as reasonable adults.

It is far easier for inconsiderate neighbours to carry on being inconsiderate / anti-social to people they don't have contact with - even if that contact is a simple hello every now and then. Stay on neighbourly terms with them and life will be much simpler.

I've been there, done that and been the one household in a block (apart from the offending household) that wasn't burgled, had cars/property damaged etc etc simply because I kept communication going and got to know the head of the house (gran, in this case) so if anything happened I didn't like, no need to talk to stroppy adolescents, cheeky kids - straight to gran - who would sort them out, no problems and no comeback.
