to ask for my old phone back?

4 weeks ago I was able to upgrade my phone, so I did. I intended selling my old phone but around the same time, a friend broke the screen on her phone and needed to send it away. She asked if she could borrow my phone while she sent hers off and I said yes. 4 weeks on and she still has not sent her phone off, she's not even using mine (hers is useable). I text her asking for it back, saying as she's not using it and I want to sell it. I've not heard from her and am feeling a little 'had' tbh. Was I unreasonable to ask for it back, given she's not using it and knows I want to sell it. I'm on maternity leave and the money would really come in handy in the run up to Christmas.

YANBU. Why would you think you were being unreasonable asking for something back that belongs to you that you only loaned out?

I'm feeling unreasonable because I said she could borrow it but I'm asking for it back before she's sent hers off. It's that stupid feeling that I'm somehow letting her down, even though she's had ample time to get her phone repaired, as she is a good friend and has been really good to me lately. That feeling you owe someone a favour if you get me.
