Dear All
First off we wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who took part in (or applied to take part in) a research project on Mumsnet - be it a product test, on-line discussion, survey or an event in 2010. Without you they simply wouldn't have happened so we're very grateful 
We've done a round up below of some of our highlights from last year and, with your help we hope we're going to be doing lots more of the same this year. BUT new for 2011 is the Mumsnet Panel.
All the info on how it work is here, but basically it's an opportunity to take part in additional surveys, product tests, etc which won't appear on Mumsnet, but which will be sent to you via email. As always there will be an incentive offered and no obligation to take part, and you can opt out at any time.
If you think you would be interested, please click here to find out more. We want as many folks as possible to join up, so do feel free to pass the word along if you feel like it.
And now, as promised, some of the highlights from 2010....
