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.

I just got an email from mnhq and got all excited but it was just about a survey I completed on feminism the other day :(

Oh well, I shall keep entering, you have to be in it to win it!

Vajazzler · 09/07/2013 13:48

I got that email too 5mad! I was all woohoo til read it. Grrr

DoItTooJulia · 09/07/2013 13:51

Oh no! No email here either!

prakattack · 09/07/2013 14:11

Thank you Mumsnet and Tesco! Sooo chuffed to get picked. Will sort out DC1 for last two weeks in this school (currently wearing some very ropey polo shirts!) and kit him out for new school start in September... fantastic!!

mycatoscar · 09/07/2013 14:29

Woohoo I got picked! Dd will be pleased as ages been moaning that all her dresses are too short, we can try these out ASAP plus she has to wear a tue from September so have got her proper shirts too Grin thanks mumsnet and tesco!

LillethTheCat · 09/07/2013 14:34

nothing for me either Sad I was so hopeful too after seeing they wanted 100 MNers so thought there was a good chance. Oh well, never mind I will have to get things from Sainsbury's then Wink Grin Just kidding I will get them wherever they are cheaper.

jenni75 · 09/07/2013 14:37

Can I ask a stupid question Blush, just reading the email, not sure if for every £25 i spend I can use a £25 voucher, so in theory £50 of uniform for £25, or if I use the vouchers at face value with no need to spend extra (bit thick emoticon Blush )

muminthecity · 09/07/2013 14:39

Woohoo, thank you MNHQ and Tesco, what a lovely surprise at just the right time! I'm on my lunch break now but planning to spend it all tonight when I get in Grin.

MyNameIsInigoMontoya · 09/07/2013 14:43

Brill, got the vouchers! Will get the order in tonight, very exciting. Thank you!

Ilikepinkwine · 09/07/2013 14:51

Oh Mumsnet, you tease, I thought I'd been picked or won something but it was the missing details from the feminism survey. Well done to the testers.
:)

notso · 09/07/2013 14:51

jenni75 if you spend £50 you can use two vouchers.
If you spend £49 you can only use 1 voucher and you pay £24 yourself.
If you use £50.25 then you use two and pay the 25p.
The amount has to be the voucher value or more, if it's less it won't accept it.

imawigglyworm · 09/07/2013 14:54

Thank you Tesco and MN got my vouchers too Smile Will put my order in shortly to collect and test asap

jenni75 · 09/07/2013 14:57

Thank you notso!

dontmeanto · 09/07/2013 15:07

I had a £50 total in my shopping bag and it would only let me put in one voucher...I was in mega-hurry to make the 3pm cut off for collection tomorrow so might've entered one wrong or something? So I quickly removed stuff down to £26, applied one voucher, paid £1 out of pocket, but got shorts, polos, sweatshirt, pants, & trousers to test from Thursday's school day. Will order the rest tomorrow which can then all be tested from Monday!

dontmeanto · 09/07/2013 15:10

Sorry should clarify, it let me put in two voucher codes but then only took off £25, though I had exactly £50 worth in the basket...putting it down to human error though. Will be able to take my time tomorrow!

LuisSuarezTeeth · 09/07/2013 15:24

I am so thrilled not to have to worry about buying uniform for the boys! Sorry to all of you who didn't get selected Sad

I'm impressed that there are 3 trouser lengths - this will make things easier for me. Wish I could order today but need to measure boys first.

I have never won anything before Smile

LuisSuarezTeeth · 09/07/2013 15:25

Thanks for that notso

trikken · 09/07/2013 15:57

Thanks so much. Ordering now!

lougle · 09/07/2013 15:58

Thank you so much, both to MN and Tesco. 3 girls here so just at the right time.

steppemum · 09/07/2013 16:13

feel really cheesed off actually. None here Sad

3 dcs, 2 weeks to go, and we could have really done with some help.

I will be really fed up if these go to anyone who has never posted.

In 10 years of mn I have received 2 free books Sad

steppemum · 09/07/2013 16:18

sorry, that sounded very sour grapes, I am really pleased for those of you who got them
