Matalan is looking for 50 MNers to try out their school uniform with their child and give their feedback on MN. Here's what Matalan says about their uniform: "At Matalan we pride ourselves on our back to school offer - all of the products are created and designed by our in house design team and we have worked with mums to create a range that is not only suitable but fit for the rigors of school life. We've put in a lot of effort to make it hard-wearing, comfortable and easy to wash and iron and want to put it to the test on your child."

Testers will be sent a £25 Matalan voucher to take to their nearest Matalan store to choose your uniform items (if you're not sure where your nearest one is, please use this store finder) - £25 will allow you to buy plenty of school uniform items. Please note that if you have more than one child of school age, you will need to choose one and just buy school uniform for them. The vouchers will only be redeemable against school uniform.

Testers will then be asked to give feedback on MN twice - once when you've just bought your items and again when you and your child have put the uniform through its paces by washing and wearing it. If you're selected to take part, you'll be sent the vouchers w/c 22 Aug. You will then need to go and buy your uniform and add your first lot of feedback w/c 12 Sept once your child has had a chance to wear it at school. We'll then ask for your second lot of feedback in early-mid October when you've had a while to put the uniform to the test.

Everyone who is selected for the test and then adds two lots of feedback on MN will be entered into a prize draw where one winner will receive a £250 high street voucher and 2 runners up will win a £50 high street voucher each.

If you're interested in taking part, please click here to add your details.

Thanks and good luck - we'll be in touch with selected testers by Monday 22 Aug.

Auntie - don't worry, the feedback thread will be left open for a while so you can add feedback later than that if yours aren't at school by then

NewGirlHelenMumsnet · 17/08/2011 14:10

mumatron - we've got your application

Vouchers can't be used online, they're in store only - if something you want is out of stock then perhaps you could order it to pick up in store?

Sorry! Age 3 now added to survey - will amend your application for you Thinkofanumber.

Is that what you meant by 'different age options' Lisad123?

NewGirlHelenMumsnet · 18/08/2011 10:27

maxy - no, that's fine

Muggles - yes, that's what it should do - just checked and we have your application

NewGirlHelenMumsnet · 18/08/2011 16:18

We'll be in touch with testers by Monday at the latest but hopefully before the weekend.

NewGirlHelenMumsnet · 19/08/2011 11:23

Don't worry gorionine - it only lets you do it once - we've definitely got your application!

NewGirlHelenMumsnet · 22/08/2011 09:39

Won't be long everyone! There's too many to post on the thread though so I'll be emailing selected testers later today.

NewGirlHelenMumsnet · 22/08/2011 17:34

Sorry everyone - taking longer than expected - will be tomorrow now. I'll post on here and email selected testers.

NewGirlHelenMumsnet · 23/08/2011 15:11

Sorry - delayed again - will let you know as soon as I know!

NewGirlHelenMumsnet · 23/08/2011 16:29

Looking unlikely, sorry Forgotten - hopefully will be tomorrow

NewGirlHelenMumsnet · 24/08/2011 09:46

Ok - emails have just gone out to selected testers from [email protected]. Please make sure this address is on your safe senders list!

NewGirlHelenMumsnet · 25/08/2011 14:55

A few of you have got lucky - Matalan ran out of £5 vouchers towards the end so a couple of you have got 3 x £10 instead - only a few mind so please don't feel hard done by those of you with £25!!

NewGirlHelenMumsnet · 25/08/2011 15:03

Oddboots - all of our product testers are always selected at random

AnnMumsnet · 27/08/2011 19:20

MugglesandLuna - that's fine - you should buy the size clothes which you need, no problem at all! Smile

NewGirlHelenMumsnet · 30/08/2011 09:59

tabulahrasa - just sent your msg on to Matalan, will get back to you...

NewGirlHelenMumsnet · 30/08/2011 11:47

tabulah - I've just checked with Matalan and it's fine for you to swap them for uniform for your DD, no problem at all. Just please remember to tell us which items you're referring to when you give your feedback!

NewGirlHelenMumsnet · 30/08/2011 16:53

AtYourCervix - not yet! We'd like your child to start wearing the uniform for a bit before you give feedback. We're planning on asking for your first lot of feedback w/c 12th Sept

NewGirlHelenMumsnet · 31/08/2011 09:44

Don't worry - the feedback thread will go up on the 12th Sept but then we're asking for the second lot of feedback in early-mid October so we'll leave the thread up all that time.

NewGirlHelenMumsnet · 05/09/2011 15:40

For anyone who hasn't been able to spend all of their vouchers yet, Matalan is happy for you to keep hold of them for now and try again at a later date. If you've been able to spend some but not all, then please just add feedback on what you've bought so far to the feedback thread when it goes up next week. If you haven't been able to buy anything yet, then please just wait and add your feedback when you've been able to buy something.
