Bloke and I at work having A Dispute over a fiver.
He believes that the fiver is mine, I believe that it is his.
Cue the Fiver War of 2017.

So far he has hidden the fiver between the keys of my keyboard, in my office trainers (kept under my desk) and tucked in the grid cover of my desk fan.

I have stuck it under his mouse (covering the sensor) and taped it HEAVILY with washi tape (brightly coloured masking tape) to his desk.

Fiver is currently on my desk.

I need HELP, please lovely Mumsnetters - I am very competitive in need of a win this week

I need to know if the fivers been found and whether or not you're going to date this guy 😂

Well he did say he was upping his game....

PoorYorick · 08/09/2017 19:15

I hope Kirsten Dunst plays you in the film, OP.

Freeze it in a block of ice.

Soooooo glad I don't work in an office!

BoffinMum · 08/09/2017 19:41

Send him a postcard from the fiver on holiday, ending 'I'll be baaaaaaack.....!'

Jux · 08/09/2017 19:42

Aw this is lovely!

I bet your mum contacted him to thank him for the GoT thing, and he asked her to hide a fiver somewhere she knew you would find it and to let him know when she did it so he could look smug and get you guessing.

You are clearly made for each other.

Hunkle · 08/09/2017 19:44

I would hole punch it, into 1000 pieces.

NotQuiteJustYet · 08/09/2017 19:50

Shameless placemarking.

Are you two married yet?

Whywonttheyletmeusemyusername · 08/09/2017 19:53

^ what she said !!!!

Skywest · 08/09/2017 19:59

My husband and I have a similar battle with a plushee ninja thats been on going for years. Best one I ever did was posted it to him at work. Raised the stakes somewhat!

McKTastic · 08/09/2017 20:26

I'd def love to watch the film version of this! 💗

alphajuliet123 · 08/09/2017 20:33

Text him "erm, so I just found a fiver in my underwear drawer...." it will open up some weekend flirting shenanigans if nothing else.

I expect an announcement he's your new boyf by Monday.

abigailgabble · 08/09/2017 20:39

are you two in love yet or what Grin

iwasagirlinavillage · 08/09/2017 20:41

Yes, I second texting him about the fiver found in the underwear drawer. See what he says and it opens up for more flirtation.

Cookiesandcake · 08/09/2017 20:57

Have you found the work fiver yet?

Floellabumbags · 08/09/2017 20:58

Do you have to be naked to type with your nipples?

OFuckShitAndBollocks · 08/09/2017 21:09

Maybe they've already taken the fiver out for a drink and a meal hence nonupdate for OP?!

OFuckShitAndBollocks · 08/09/2017 21:09

No update (stupid auto incorrect!)

Thislittlepiggywenttomarket · 08/09/2017 22:01

Ooh, the fiver in the underwear drawer 🤔.

I think they've gone out for a drink already. 🤞

TooSleepyToCare · 08/09/2017 22:16

Come on OP. You can't leave us hanging. Did you WhatsApp him???

wellymelly · 08/09/2017 22:46

Why hasn't anyone mentioned KEEPING THE BLOODY FIVER. Who cares who's it is!! He obviously wants you to have it. Accept gracefully and do what you want with it. I would 😁

Twinkle7 · 08/09/2017 23:11

Rip it up into tiny pieces, put it in a box labelled 'fiver puzzle'

Jojofjo44 · 08/09/2017 23:15

I'm invested in this one now. Where the goddamn work fiver gone?
