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.

There are 128 posts, and 100 places. Given that at least half the comments say the poster can't take part, or discuss the test more generally, I am hopeful...

TheWoollybacksWife · 08/07/2013 21:21

Signed up earlier and we have 2.5 weeks of term left.

I may also be marking my place for the big reveal...

Ghostsgowoooh · 08/07/2013 21:47

I forgot to say in my earlier post that I also have a dd who is going into year two and a ds who is going into year 9 as well as my other two

Oh no! I am checking this every hour and am getting obsessed. Deja vu of the B & Q garden challenge all over again.
Michelle at HQ please put us all out of our misery!

5madthings · 08/07/2013 22:15

So hoping to get chosen for this with four boys who have all outgrown trousers and white polo shirts and proper school shirts that are not white anymore my boys are not looking their smartest at the moment. fingers crossed!

steppemum · 08/07/2013 22:21

How do we find out if we are chosen?

xenzani · 08/07/2013 23:40

I too want to know when they will anounce those taking part. We have two weeks left and could do with new bits. tried their cardis in the past but wasn't impressed, they fell apart quickly but hoping the other bits sre better.

I signed up when it opened Wink

Breezy1985 · 08/07/2013 23:45

I too would like to know so I can at least stop.refreshing my emails Grin We've got over 2 weeks left yet and could really do with some new uniform

steppemum · 08/07/2013 23:47

well, I will buy them all September sizes and make them wear it to test it.

Might have a problem if weather is hot though, as dd2 likes her dresses and ds has FINALLY worn his shorts

gazzalw · 09/07/2013 07:11

As the thread only closed yesterday, and with the benefit of experience, I wouldn't have thought the testers would be chosen until today at the earliest and possibly tomorrow.... still gives a little under two weeks left of term.... With them being e-vouchers there won't be any hanging around waiting for them to be delivered by snail mail....

MichelleMumsnet · 09/07/2013 09:37

Hello all, we're in the process of selecting testers at the moment and will let everyone know by the end of today!

End of today?!?! Now I'm going to get nothing done apart from obsessively checking!

Thanks for that michellemumsnet Grin

5madthings · 09/07/2013 10:04

TheOneWithTheHair · 09/07/2013 10:15

With 2.5 weeks to go we may be in with a chance. Fingers crossed.

xenzani · 09/07/2013 10:42

Everything crossed

Breezy1985 · 09/07/2013 10:48

Thank you very much Tesco and MN. What a lovely surprise as having a rubbish day as my Dad is in surgery this morning. Will concentrate on some shopping while waiting for news!

MimsyBorogroves · 09/07/2013 11:29

Shock I'm in! I didn't expect to get this one at all, thank you SO much!

I'm currently shopping like a crazy thing - and I've managed to kit out DS1 for the next 3 years. I can't believe some of the bargains on there - 75p for a polo shirt? Wish I'd done this sooner
