The time has come round yet again for the Insight team at MNHQ to host our annual round up of the year, to plead for those of you not yet on our panel to sign up and to thank you all for taking part in some amazing projects this year!

After 10 years at Mumsnet, I am logging off and leaving at the end of the year - will def be on the ‘other side’ and keeping an eye on the team. It’s been amazing at MNHQ - seeing the site grow and develop and to work with a great team but time for a change for me personally.

Read on for the chance to win...

This year we have all been thrilled to see the Mumsnet Rated badge really gaining momentum - have you seen it on products like Birds Eye frozen chicken, Arla Big Milk, Hedrin Once etc? We have also loved getting your houses sparkly with Buster, and Dettol, having some fun with Count Olaf and Netflix and scoffing trying Soreen mini loaves (they sent soooo much to MNHQ).

I haven't been selected for much this year. Hope im not blacklisted! Think I've always given feedback as required! Id love more food tests next year I was disappointed to miss out on these this year!

Ooh yeah or board games, good call Quiet Ninja!

a) Share on this thread what you haveenjoyed taking part in this year, or appreciated reading about OR
I've had such a fortunate year this year with mumnet and have been able to test Lidl pull up pants, baby food when my son was weaning, and i was chosen for the love lamb campaign where I got a ten pound voucher to buy lamb and cook a yummymeal and report back.
b) Tell us on this thread what you’dlike to product testnext year OR
Next year I would love to test toddler toys, games or nappies.

Had an amazing year with you mumsnet and thanks for giving me the opportunity to test products and give feedback as well as all fab competitions and advice on your forum.

I've been lucky enough to test quite a few products this year but my favourite was probably the Gousto box and my kids loved testing the Gogo squeeze packs and the chocolate cake!

Next year I'd love to test some beauty products or products for the home.

I have really enjoyed being part of the panel this year - I memorably got to test the Thermo thermometer which was great fun and has given us a wonderfully reassuring tool for illnesses. I'm a part of other testing sites, but this one gives me the opportunity to share with other women. It's so much more interesting! Next year I would love to try any more household goods and beauty products as I'm so inexperienced that it would be fun. Thanks Mumsnet!

Would also like to test a robot lawnmower or any other clever time and labour saving inventions that 'normal' people would normally encounter.

Ive tested a number of things over the years but as memeory is a bit shot I cant remember if any were this year! I do like the product tests though, especially if I have considered buying a product, its always good to see what people thing

My son enjoyed the reading eggs. The birds eye test was great as we never would have tried it prior to the test.

I'd like to test more home appliances, learning apps for primary school age children, and any food!

Aww it's been a great year, I've really enjoyed the surveys and their topics this year, I love the fact they give us a little sneak peek before anyone else into what the brand is considering bringing out/doing next with their products! Although I haven't won this year we've had a lot of amazing prizes and the vouchers amount has been for more this year I think. Next year if love to test "Holiday Items" eg suitcases, kids equipment for holidays, tents etc because I spend all year planning our holiday to Wales so I'd be really really interested in trying things out. The staff at Mums Net have been amazing as usual and have made sure the emails are cheery and funny and not too formal like a robots talking to us like some other sites do! So thanks for a fab 2017, Bring on the Christmas Dinner bloat I'm ready this year with my baggy pants and a pillow ready to fall straight asleep afterwards !! (With 5 young kids =Fat Chance haha)
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE have a brill day and Goodluck for 2018 xxx

I tested the Savse baby food.

I would have loved to test Birds Eye products so if that came round again I would be really interested.

I’ve loved testing products & giving feedback - my favourites have been the Birds eye chicken, the ketchup and the moisturiser!
I also love completing the surveys.
Next year I’d like to test more food items, children’s items and electronics

I'm such a fan of the panel and have had the opportunity to test some great products. This year I've done Fanta, antiseptic wipes and the amazing Duvulay mattress. I'd recommend Insight to everyone. Mumsnet is my go-to place when I'm buying anything to check reviews and people's experiences.

I can't believe no one has mentioned the Robinson's squash box! We loved testing that as the children thought all their Chrismas's had come at once as usually they have to finish one bottle before I'll open the next. I was also thrilled to win vouchers after posting on a feedback thread. Next year I'd love to test anything kitcheny or beauty products

Would love to product test dyson hoover

I would love to product test an IPL machine. It would be great to be hair free but not sure I can justify the price if it didn't work. Failing that a spa day would be fab!

Signed up

I love testing products for Mumsnet! I think I must be a little odd as I get unreasonably excited each time the package arrives! The toddler snacks went down very well with my little one but the amazing mattress was definitely the high point this year- a wonderful surprise thank you! I would love to test a case of virgin wines next

Now following on Twitter

We tested the Birds Eye Chicken. Think that was the only thing I got picked for (and I'm a vegetarian )

I always do the surveys.

I'd like product tests on skincare, food , cookbooks...!

I've never been lucky enough too get to test anything!!! However I too would love to test the Dyson hairdryer (is it really worth th money???) Or even a portable low cost heater as I work from home and am too tight to put the heating on all day. Or anything foodie as my 14 year old eats like a horse and is not backwards at coming forward with an opinion a review.

We enjoyed the Aveeno trial! Lovely smell (not usually associated with my baby)...

Now following on Twitter.

Would love to test a tumble drier. We don’t have one... I think it could change my life!

Really enjoyed all the product tests - thanks for the opportunity! However our favourite was the Little Dish meals. The kids loved trying them out.

Best wishes Ann 😊

I think I used to be on the panel but not recently so have signed up again.

i entered through twitter
i would also like to test diabetic food next year x
