    Have you got any proof you loaned her the money and the agreed repayments?

    You almost certainly won't see anymore of this money back, lending to family and friends tends to be a bad idea.
  • i have facebook messages from her admitting she owes me the money

    you will probably have to take her to a small claims court then

    You will never get this money back, so unless you want constant hassle worrying about it I'd write it off to experience and let 'friends' sort their finances out for themselves in future.
