NOW CLOSED Have a child of school age and want to try out F&F’s new schoolwear range? Get £100 worth of F&F online vouchers to spend on your DC and yourself!

[MichelleMumsnet]

F&F has asked us to find 100 MNers to test out their F&F schoolwear range with their DC and provide feedback.

Here's what F&F say about their range, "At F&F we're really proud of the value and quality of our products and have spent the last year really improving our schoolwear range. Our schoolwear offering, which is available online all year round, is designed to last. With features including Teflon® fabric protector across skirts, trousers and pinafores, we believe that we've made it easier to get those stains out. Also, we've included adjustable waistbands to ensure a more comfortable fit for your children that will also help the items last that little bit longer as they grow. Finally, we've helped reduce the ironing with our permanent pleats in skirts. We'd love to see what Mumsnetters think about our F&F schoolwear range and we want to know if you agree with the outstanding quality too!"

We're looking for UK Mumsnetters, who have at least one child of school age who wears school uniform, to put the range to the test before the new term starts. If you are selected, you will be sent £100 worth of Tesco online vouchers*. We'd like you to use some of this to buy items from the F&F back to school range and the rest is a gift for you from F&F to treat yourself to some new items for the school run!

Delivery charges aren't included in the e-coupons, however there is the option to 'Click and Collect' which delivers your order to your nearby Tesco, free of charge, by the next day if you place your order by 3pm. We are aware that the summer holidays are fast approaching so we're looking for Mumsnetters who are available to carry out this product test as soon as possible.

Once you have had a chance to purchase a few items and kit your DCs out in a new uniform we'll ask you to get your LOs to put it through its paces and for you to give it a couple of washes before adding your feedback to a thread on MN.

If you're interested in taking part, please sign up here.

Thanks and good luck,

Michelle @ MNHQ

NB: You will receive x4 £25 vouchers, for each voucher you will need to spend the full value, or more.

Boo that's rubbish Titsalina perhaps you could try the helpline like UniS am going to phone myself later.

Is the coat waterproof Monster if so i think I'll get it. Our school are the same the logo one is about £35, but you can wear any so hardly anyone buys it.

DD tried the trousers on and as predicted they are massive in width, even with the waist pulled right in. The length is fine so I'm not sure if there is any point trying to exchange unless I can get the longer leg ones in a smaller size.

DS's stuff all looks good on, a bit big at the moment but he'll soon be in them.

Hello mumsnet. I've had my entire order cancelled too. Something to do with their site not acknowledging I had registered as a customer. They think the vouchers should still be valid but could you please confirm. Many thanks.

[babsmam]

I have put my order in and only spent half as had issues with things being out of stock.. The website was sloooowww too. Collecting on Sunday as my nearest tesco is miles away.. Hopefully will get full order.

Hope we can do exchanges as my dd is a tall skinny 5 yr old and we always have a nightmare fitting. I usually take her to try on with me as its the lesser of two evils

Day 1 of testing. White polos have experienced berry smoothies, wheatabix, orange juice, milk, tooth paste. Friday is often art so we can add paint/ glue/ pen to the mix. In the interests of testing and due to running late, DS1 has gone to school in his breakfast covered polo. DS2 changed into a new top after eating.

Trousers have been used to kneel down and play Thomas with younger DD on the floor which resulted in rolling around rough and tumble between my two boys.

DS1 had a melt down this morning and so the leather shoes are getting a thorough drag and stomp test (never had a pair last a half term yet).

I'm impressed by the look/ feel of the trousers. Elastic waist bands are essential in this house as the boys are string beans. DS2 is in yr2 age 7 and I ordered the age 8-9 trousers. They're a good fit but the waist is very large. Its adjusted to fit him but the volume of spare material is a bit extreme. Looks okay with his jumper on but with his polo tucked in he looks a bit puffy. He complained that the (large) spare elastic loops were uncomfortable. He's gone in like that today but I think that I'll be trimming them off and tacking the flap down tonight. The elastic quality isn't that great so at this level of stretch for supper skinnys it risks fraying at the button holes. This has happened to us before. Its a pain because you need to sew in new elastic.

DS1 has the extra length 10-11 trousers on he's 9 yr4. Same loop issues, but slightly less excess fabric. The website didn't actually say how much extra length was with these trousers but they fit okay.

DS2 is wearing a standard polo, DS1 is wearing a 75p value polo. I can't see the difference new on. The look and feel is exactly the same. We'll see how they compare after a few washes.

For DS1 it would have been £5 for 2 standard polos but only £1.50 for 2 value ones. he needs clean on at least once a day (Dyspraxia means we have lots of spills)so I'm really hoping that the value ones hold their own and I'll be buying more.

[ClutchingPearls]

Ours has all arrived safely today. We ordered £100 worth and all arrived no cancellations.

I must be the odd one out because I found website very good. Easy to narrow down searches based on school colours. It kept track of what I did very well i.e adding one size and then quickly adding the next size up and going back pages before it even logged the first one but it still managed to to them to my basket. Took 5 minutes.

[lougle]

Ours has arrived today. Testing from Monday.

[Bumpstarter]

Disappointed.but I guess most of the mners who put in for this are feeling the pinch.

[mycatoscar]

Grrrr I ordered £110 worth and got an email to say it had been dispatched but today only 2 items turned up. One of which is a winter coat so can't really try that out right at the moment lol.

Fingers crossed the rest turns up ASAP so I can test it.

[JambalayaCodfishPie]

Our order arrived today, minus the cancelled items.

DD1 will be trying them all on over the weekend.

[EeTraceyluv]

Re: exchanging - two things I received didn't fit so I took them back today - got cash back no problem! Was v good and bought replacements of course.

[notso]

So you just took them back to Tesco EeTraceyluv (I love your name BTW!) did you take the delivery note?

[notso]

DD has made her shirt work hard today, she had a nose bleed on it at morning break.

[MyNameIsInigoMontoya]

DS tried his shorts today, they are darker coloured than I expected (grey, but more of a black-grey than most ones I've seen) but seem like quite good quality fabric and fitted him well once I adjusted the waist a bit. He's not very big on answering questions but said they were "nice, and comfy" so that's high praise from him!

[EeTraceyluv]

Yes, I took them back with the note and she just gave me the money - which surprised me as I expected a voucher back! (I wanted a corrie name and was inspired one night )

[muminthecity]

My order arrived today, it was all there, no problems. Some of the dresses do look big, I may put them away for September when they should fit and just road test the summer dresses, skirts and shirts which seem to be the a better size.

[EeTraceyluv]

I had to return a coat - it was 9-10 but tiny! All the other things seems fin - dd wore her pinafore yesterday and loved it!

[notso]

My note says the trousers are only worth 3p though, so would I only get 3p back?
( I have to read it in the voice of Deirdre!)

[EeTraceyluv]

ee notso luv, you'll be best off asking our Ken - he's at th' library..

[dontmeanto]

I found the website easy as well, once I slowed down and concentrated. The stuff came super quickly, too. I didn't have anything cancelled. DS wore his things Thursday and Friday, and I have wadhed and hung them out to dry!

[dontmeanto]

Washed, even!

[SylviaDaisyPouncer]

Parcel arrived yesterday, minus one pair of shorts (not school ones), however they arrived this morning after calling customer services yesterday.

Everything fits. Ds (12) is tall but skinny, found the 13-14 trousers long enough and fine at the waist once adjusted. 13-14 shirts/tops all good in size too.

Overall very impressed so far.

[notso]

Nevermind eeTraceyluv I'll see yer down't Rovers

[UniS]

School kit collected from store, once DH worked out where he needed to collect from ( not thr big signposted click n collect place, but some where in store so he had to park the bike and GO INTO A SHOP which he hates doing ).

DS has now tried it on and teh fit is reasonable. I was right to order a size up for long sleeve things, they fit perfectly. Trousers I ordered the " rigt age " size and they are OK on length as I thought they would be, width is bit more variable. Those with adjustable elastic are fine, those with belt loops need quite a bit of cinching in or braces.

[lyndseyh78]

Thank you very much for choosing us, We spent £104 and everything has now arrived with no problems.

My DC have tried on all the uniforms and it all fits perfectly!

My DC will all be kitted out in their new uniforms for testing tomorrow

Thank you Mumsnet & Tesco

[HeySoulSister]
