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

Absolutely not. Surely not. I mean...how?!
But... I'm not really one to stash my cash in my underwear drawer.

It's definitely a sign.
Can't you stalk him on Facebook and find out if he's definitely single?

BigSunglasses00 · 07/09/2017 22:32

Do you ahem a friend from work who's been at your place recently who could be working on his behalf? :p

fucksakefay They found the fishing float when out one day. It's about 6 inches long, 3 inches across, sort of blunt rugby ball shaped with a hole down the length of the middle. One put it on the other's car aerial. It was returned by unscrewing the knob on the top of the gear stick. Then it was wrapped for Christmas. Floated in the loo ...

Well that escalated quickly!

soupforbrains · 07/09/2017 22:37

Holy crap copper!

Maybe VLC (very lovely colleague) has an informant on here and saw the earlier suggestion that you break into his house and hide it there.

Otherwise very creepy. Surely it can't possibly be the same fiver... maybe it fell in there out of an item of clothing you were wearing??

soupforbrains · 07/09/2017 22:38

Can you WhatsApp him and say something noncommittal and try to get him to reveal where he hid it?

averylongtimeago · 07/09/2017 22:39

Does he know any one who would plant it for him?

WooWooSister · 07/09/2017 22:42

It must be a different note surely Confused

In my underwear drawer?? I'd hope nothat. No one has been in the house this week besides me, my mother and the cleaner yesterday.

Is your mum in on it ? Dont suppose you know the serial number to check it's the same one ?

Dancinginthemidnight · 07/09/2017 22:46

If it is the same one that's seriously creepy.

NullaG · 07/09/2017 22:47

What crazy sort of underwear drawer is that? Do you only have 1 pair of socks and lay them verry carefully down?

JWrecks · 07/09/2017 22:47

Is it possible that's not the same fiver?? Surely... !!

KoolKoala07 · 07/09/2017 22:49

That must be some sort of sign, surely?!

ClandestineAdulation · 07/09/2017 22:50
