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.

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 loved testing the Sanctuary spa moisturiser. I was quite sceptical initially but love it now.
I’d love to be involved in testing of a personal shopper service. I looked into it recently but couldn’t find any that had consistent good reviews for 40-somethings.

Oh and would love to test vacuum cleaners as I’ve never had one live up to its promise

I’m on the panel, and have followed and re-tweeted - included proof below

Had a great time reading and contributing to messages on mumsnet. Would love to test some really good face and body treatments, also any gadgets that can make life easier in the home. I have also loved the book giveaways, I love reading and am happy to read and review new book releases, so hopefully more of these please. Your competitions are great, and though I have yet to win one I like entering them for a chance. Hope everyone at mumsnet HQ has a really great Christmas, and here's to another great year with the site.

I’d love to test out some kitchen gadgets. Some of the products tests (I’ve not been selected) have really opened my eyes to products that I didn’t know existed!

I loved the Bunnings day out and vouchers - had a great time being part of this thank you!

Sad news AnnMumsnet

We enjoyed testing the GoGo Squeez's fruit and yoghurt pouches, and I followed the thread about the air purifier because I had considered getting one but wasn't sure which one

We would love to try a soup maker as everyone seems to have one all of a sudden and raves over them, and we eat a lot of soup so it could save me considerable time each week

I'd love to try the Dyson hairdryer

I tried the Soreen bars after seeing them on here. Very nice and have some in the cupboard right now!

I have registered! Up for testing anything, especially toys, food / household items and a running buggy!!

I've joined the panel

I really enjoyed testing products for the first time this year. The Moshi Monsters my son loved and the elusive Fanta which my daughter tested immediately. I would like to see products like wireless headphones and gadgets of any shape or form and I would be very happy to try out any ovens for you :)
Merry Christmas to All at Mumsnet and good luck Ann with your new endeavours

IVe only recently joined the panel but have already been selected to try out nappies and baby food on my 9mth

Hope to try out many new things in the coming months and years

I love doing mumsnet product tests, and have had quite a few bits and bobs over the years. I remember you did a farrow and ball test a while back- would love to do that again.

The product that I would like to test is different nappy brands and compare which ones are good.

I really enjoyed being part of the Homebase garden goals. I found green fingers I didn't know I had and ended up with a lovely relaxing and enjoyable space.

I love being a part of the insight panel, there's a real sense of community. I was lucky enough to be chosen to test the Sanctaury wet skin moisturiser, a new fave! Thanks for letting me be a part of the panel

I tested a product for the first time in 2017- Sanctuary Spa Wet Skin Moisture Miracle. I have totally changed my skincare routine and have added this to my bathroom shelf. I probably wouldn’t have tried it out unless I had the opportunity to test it so thank you Mumsnet!

I loved all the support and advice through pregnancy and birth this year - pregnancy talk pages, baby name pages and pregnancy calendar were my top hits.

I also was lucky to get £10 voucher to try a new lamb recipe in love lamb week - I'd love to do more recipe testing in future, especially now that DS has started on solid food!

I really enjoyed testing the Lidl pull-ups and followed the tefal cook with interest (still wish I’d been picked for it). Next year I’d love some beauty products to give us mums a treat

Next year I would like to test lawn mowers please. I have an unruly garden that is going to be tackled in 2018.

Sad to hear you're leaving Ann. I'd love you test a multi cooker, or a vacuum or a tumble dryer!

Same here for the Dyson or GHD hairdryer. Not something I'd want to purchase at a high cost only to be disappointed! I tested Sani Hand Wipes this year - great to be involved in a Mumsnet test panel as I trust other mums opinions and experience in anything I don't know about.

I enjoyed the survey on sleep as it was quite interesting to consider the things stopping me from getting a good night's sleep.

In terms of things to test in the future...maybe children's outdoor clothing?
