So, just to update.

Dad is still on holiday and still needs to pay. I have sent a couple more reminders with no response until today.

His excuse was "Sorry out of town"

ME:
"I understand that, but arrangements need to be made to ensure I am paid on time, as this has become a habit".

DAD:
"You get paid, and I am not in the mood for this sh** today. As I said I will transfer it today"

I am so done! He's not in the mood! I am the one who has been dealing with this for the last 11 days, not him. I will start looking for replacements, but it may take awhile due to the downturn in the energy sector.
