It's hard to stop making the effort when your that sort of person, isn't it? My sister never lets me down, so this was a one off.
Its a combination of emailing a close friend last week (no response yet), texting a friend yesterday (no response yet) and then this today. Also I have realised that although I love my best friend dearly she never ever listens to me and dismisses any worries I have by saying your so daft.
Better send a grovelling text to my sister.

Perhaps having a strop wasn't a bad thing - it could be a way to start a conversation about how you feel it's always you making the effort? You can still apologise if you think you took it too far but it might be good for your sis to know a but if effort wouldn't go amiss?0
