Nicholson was finally kicked out of her flat in Ramsgate, Kent, last week after a string of complaints about drunken house parties over the past year.
The 19-year-old advertised parties at her two-bed flat on Facebook, encouraging people to bring along the super loud instruments, which hit the headlines during the World Cup in South Africa in 2010.
The instruments can reach 131 decibels - the equivalent of a jet plane passing over your head at just 100ft.
During the World Cup a string of players, including former Manchester United ace Cristiano Ronaldo said the noise affected his concentration on the pitch and the noise had been compared to the sound of a thousand bees or a herd of stampeding elephants.
Canterbury County Court heard last week how Nicholson regularly held parties at her flat and that more than 40 people usually attended the bashes
After a string of complaints from neighbours, her landlords Town and County Housing decided to take legal action to force the mum-of-one out after she repeatedly ignored requests to stop the wild parties.
Among the complaints from neighbours included party guests blowing vuvuzelas 'en masse', fighting in the stairwell, damaging property and throwing things of the first-floor balcony.

He confirmed that a number of complaints had mentioned 'ear-splitting noise' from vuvuzelas and that the repossession of the flat was the 'only option' left after Miss Nicholson continually breached an injunction to stop the parties.

"Screaming, shouting, loud music, drunkenness, drugs and foul language were all common features.
"The neighbours were terrified. Some took sleeping pills or arranged to sleep elsewhere at weekends to avoid the disturbances.
"A number of people even moved out..."

This will sure make for a bad rental reference.
Evicted? Should have shot the SOB!
So, not only does she have no respect for her neighbors, but none for her child as well. What kind of mother holds drunken, loud, obnoxious parties with her child at hand?
Stupid people are.... stoopid
19-year old hedonists on the dole?
perhaps investing in hearing aid companies is a good idea.
Evicted? I’m amazed that she wasn’t the subject of a ritual killing.
It's not a balcony, it's a patio.
Who threw wild parties to duck the rent
The vuvuzela she blew
Until the coppers came through
And now she lives in a tent
Thanks, I really needed a new monitor anyway.
Oh the humanity.
The Brits count them differently.

Look under the "Numbering" sub-header.
I haven’t heard any vuvuzelas at a soccer match since the World Cup. You should consider amending your rant.
