Just being nosy- I'm excited because I've been selected to test some nappies and I've only just finished the Hoops and Crosses crisps that were sent out a few weeks ago!

I heart Mumsnet Grin

Ambrosia and the Karcher steam cleaner!

I think I am off the pick list for a while after the steam cleaner!

babyseal · 25/04/2013 21:17

I am one of the lucky ones who tested the steam cleaner! Smile Also tested Aldi nappies, m and s shapewear, some Olay moisturiser, Halos and Horns kids baby bath, love love love Mumsnet!

Now, what I wouldn't do for a Youview box Wink .

Imperial Leather shower gel. I don't think it ever actually made it to the shops. Hmm

And the chocolate porridge.

I won a picture once, but never received it. That was ages ago, and I still think of that picture sometimes...Sad

GwendolineMaryLacey · 25/04/2013 21:20

some kitchen wipes
am about to test some nappies and test drive a car

LynetteScavo · 25/04/2013 21:21

Oh, and the Origins face serum stuff. It was great, but £££.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 25/04/2013 21:22

Oh, think I got some little cubes of cheese too...

ilikeyoursleeves · 25/04/2013 21:25

Wow steam cleaners, fridges and A CAR?!

I thought I was doing well with my crisps and nappies! I remember I once got £20 amazon voucher for something too. :)

Is it just totally random who gets picked?

Fantastic! (But you do need 2!)

Indith · 25/04/2013 21:27

I don't think you get to keep the cars Grin.

Mixture of what you write on the form, if you are willing to do videos and pure luck I think.

ilikeyoursleeves · 25/04/2013 21:29

Ha ha I thought you actually kept the car, now that would be a result!

I tried out some washing powder last year and quite recently tested some wine. I also had some free batteries !

5318008 · 25/04/2013 21:34

That fucking awful O2 joggler that didn't work, the cable gave electric shocks as well.

Over the years DH hacked it into a radio, then a digi photo frame then rehacked it into a kind of tablet.

5318008 · 25/04/2013 21:36

Oh, and a face cream, I forget the one, maybe olay? No spf, and the 'tingle' you were sposed to get fcking hurt!

JustFoofy · 25/04/2013 21:38

Marks and Spencers support underwear.

Loved the secret support vest. I wear it loads.

MsGee · 25/04/2013 21:40

M&S meals and the wrinkle cream

Loved the M&S stuff. I love MN so much I persevered with the serum even though it made my skin sting. Grin

noisytoys · 25/04/2013 21:42

The Dyson hand held Hoover Smile best test ever and I got to keep it Smile

Indith · 25/04/2013 21:42

Graceparkhill · 25/04/2013 21:43

I did the M&S shape wear. Had a great time comparing on line with instore.
I love it when I am asked for my opinion !
