Wibu asking for the money back

Yesterday a friend of mine had forgotten her purse and obviously as it was belting hot I was concerned about her dehydrating so I offered her to get herself a drink using my card (I'd just been in for one before she met up with us) she gratefully accepted. Later I saw it was a couple of quid she'd spent. Not great amounts but baring in mind my drink had cost me around 50p I was surprised (it was one of the discount shops). My other friend happened to mention she hasn't just bought a drink. I was frustrated as she didn't even offer to reimburse me so I messaged her and politely asked if she could send me over the money. She did, but didn't reply to me so I assume she's annoyed with me.
I'm not particularly well off which she knows but if it was just a cheap drink I would have told her not to worry if she'd offered me the money. Anyway now I'm thinking I wbu in asking for it?

Isn't giving someone your card against all banking rules?
I'd be interested in what she did but extra? It could well have been an excuse to say get some tampons as she'd just started and been caught short. So the water was a cover? Or medicine for a migraine etc.

So what if op only had that few quid in the bank for the week and came on the next day. SHE wouldn't be able to buy sanpro because the CF friend spent her money without permission.

YANBU op.
