What can I do about my mum repeatedly coming to my house without letting me know ahead of time?

It’s ridiculous that I even have to ask this ask this question. I like my privacy, and I made the stupid mistake of moving round the corner from my mum thinking she would respect this. I see her several times a week, but on days that I don’t, I like to be left alone to do my own thing. I don’t want to see anyone on these days, or even speak to anyone really. I have told her this explicitly. She keeps popping round to drop things off (food, or other random things). She doesn’t get that it doesn’t matter if I don’t answer the door, I don’t want her to do it. How do I stop her? (Aside from moving further away to an area she never visits). If you’re someone that does this after being asked not to, why? I’ve told her already how much this hurts me and disrespects me.
