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.

Thanks so much. Ordering now!

InMySpareTime · 09/07/2013 11:43

I'm in too, spent £75 already, which will be here by the end of the week.
Thank you MN, this is my third MN school uniform test, at this rate I'll never have to actually buy them any uniform!

No email :( shall check again in a bit as they said by the end of the day...

Bit gutted as this would have been so handy for the four boys.

noisytoys · 09/07/2013 11:52

No email for me too Sad I keep refreshing. Fingers, toes and eyes crossed

Breezy1985 · 09/07/2013 11:53

No email either Sad

Might just give up trying, have never been chosen - feeling sorry for myself Smile

Indith · 09/07/2013 11:59

No email for me either :-( Oh well.

FairyJen · 09/07/2013 12:00

None for me either. Gutted as no idea how can afford to sort dd out with her knack for trashing tights etc Sad

5madthings · 09/07/2013 12:03

I have been chosen for some things, have a packet of pampers pull ups to test at the moment :)

But i do know that tests/giveaways like this get linked to on money saving expert etc and lots of people register just to enter, bit cheeky i think but its the same with the competitions as well i have noticed and winners are often people that have never posted.

I shall check in later but not hopeful now..
Could we be told what ctiteria they used for choosing testers?

LuisSuarezTeeth · 09/07/2013 12:04

FairyJen · 09/07/2013 12:05

notso · 09/07/2013 12:07

Yay! finally someone wants me Grin I said I wasn't going to do anymore after the tassimo one but I'm glad I did now.
Have ordered, it will be delivered to store tomorrow.
There wasn't much choice in trousers for DD's size 15-16 sadly so just got one pair and a mountain of shirts, DS1 will be pleased he's got loads.

5madthings · 09/07/2013 12:10

Anyone registered with mnet can sign up. So when these things get shared people just register a username. You dont have to actually be a poster to get picked. Just have a username.

Thank u Mumsnet & Tesco!, this will make such a difference to us, so happy! [:-)]

ldt87 · 09/07/2013 12:31

Nothing here :-( very disappointed, was really hoping for this one.

dontmeanto · 09/07/2013 12:37

Yay!!!!!! Will click and collect tomorrow afternoon. Thanks, MNHQ!!!

ClutchingPearls · 09/07/2013 12:55

I also was on my 'not entering anymore' sulk and only last minute entered. So pleased I did 2DC, kitted out for the next three years. Didn't manage the "treat yourself" bit as all the school uniform is so cheap I couldn't resist getting more and more.

Can't believe a 75p top will be any good but I suppose that's the point of the testGrin.

ClutchingPearls · 09/07/2013 12:56

oh forgot, thank you so much MN and Tesco.Grin Can't wait for it all to arrive.

Breezy1985 · 09/07/2013 13:00

I shall carry on trying then - my luck has to change one day.

Well Done to all those that did get picked though Smile

Ghostsgowoooh · 09/07/2013 13:04

I didn't get an email either Sad It would have really helped this year too as especially with ds13 who has autism, dd going up to secondary and dd2 who is starting yr2 and us being broke.

Ah well better luck next time Grin
