That is brilliant! DD1 will love it, thank you

Hulababy · 26/11/2008 10:27

I can't do it as need a zip code; UK postcode doesn't work

ComeOVeneer · 26/11/2008 10:30

I put in my old zip code from chicago (60601)

Hulababy · 26/11/2008 10:30

OK - I used 90210 and it let me in

ComeOVeneer · 26/11/2008 10:33

However it will only accept pictures under 1MB and none of mine seem to be .

PortAndLemon · 26/11/2008 10:38

I used 90210 too

COV -- I can shrink a picture for you if you like (P.S. never got back to you about naming ceremony cake because DH is now in Mumbai until next summer and so the whole thing is on hold)

Thats brilliant my DS is going to be so impressed lol

Jael · 26/11/2008 12:22

Thanks for that. I just did it, after spending half hour scouring for a pic under IMB. Showed it to DD, (almost 3) and her face lit up. She loved it!

Sorry, am I being dumb? Where do you upload the picture to?

PortAndLemon · 26/11/2008 14:27

How far have you got in the whole process?

OP posts:
MiaWallace · 26/11/2008 14:40

I've done it now thanks.

Just couldn't find where to register.

IllegallyBrunette · 26/11/2008 16:03

Ds thought that was brilliant, and when he saw his name in the nice book he punched the air and shouted 'yes'

PortAndLemon · 26/11/2008 19:11

Well, that wasn't the world's greatest success.

DS said "That boy looks a bit like me!"

I said "I think it is you."

He said "Nooooooooooooo....."

When his name turned up in the book he decided that maybe it was a picture of him after all, though.

Well ds3 adored it and the others are jealous even though ds1 doesn't believe in Santa any more

MiaWallace · 26/11/2008 20:19

DD wasn't amused. She wants Christmas to be over so she can be naughty again 'without being spied on'

pauamcg · 29/11/2008 08:13

Has anyone else had trouble uploading a photo ?

Regardless of what size photo I try to upload it says the file is too big for Santa's inbox. (the smallest file I have tried is only 294kb !)

Do you think it could be that so many people have tried this, the Server is full ?

psychomum5 · 29/11/2008 08:38

is there a way of doing it so you can put up three children?

my younger three would love it

sockmonkey · 29/11/2008 08:49

The boys loved this. They are both glad to be in Santa's good books.

PortAndLemon · 29/11/2008 08:55

The photo I uploaded was 186kB.

LadyBuntingofCupcake · 29/11/2008 08:58

aaaahhh... just did this for my dds. I nearly cried when I saw the look of utter captivation on dd1's face! [grin}

FruitynNutty · 29/11/2008 09:36

Oh I give up. Thought it was a fab idea but the photo I've chosen has now been shrunk to half a meg and it's still too big
Maybe DS hasn't made Father Christmas's list after all

SoupDragon · 29/11/2008 09:42

Do they not have a naughty list to add your child to?

FrannyandZooey · 29/11/2008 10:02

LOL ds1 will FREAK when he sees this
he knows fc is not real but this might give him pause for thought

PortAndLemon · 29/11/2008 12:19

Half a meg is still quite big [old gimmer who remembers the days of dialup when 100kB was huuuuuuuge emoticon]. Plenty of sites I'm on only let you upload under 100kB, so I thought I was being pretty daring trying my 186kB image...

Take apicture using teh 640*480 settings on your camera. Tis the easiest way to get a small image file.
