Hi Guys, Back from the Croydon CD signing! My girls met JLS!

Topics

OMG!! They were SO happy!!

Queued up from 2am! There were only 200 ppl able to meet them. By 6 am there were way over 200 there! It was totally crazy

HMV opened at 8am, the first 200 got a wristband. They then had to come back at 4, show the wristband, get the Cd and they were then taken upstairs to meet the group. My youngest came out in a right state afterwards; Literally shaking from head to foot and crying her eyes out

Think it all got a bit too much for her! The boys were lovely tho

It was well worth the trip. Met up with some other mums and daughters; We were all around the same age, and ended up staying together for the whole weekend

Their girls were just as crazy as mine when it came to JLS.We are all gonna keep in touch which is nice. Brilliant weekend, but I am absolutely shattered now. fell asleep for 4 hours this afternoon when I got home from work!!

Dont know how to post a piccy on here! They were last years runners up on the X factor. Should have won imo!

They released their first single yesterday, called "Beat Again" They have a huge fan base, so wouldnt be surprised if this is the start of something big for them. My daughters are potty about them. Totally obsessed!

Well me and my friends didnt even get a chance to actually talk properly as a big guy was rushing her through the airport, only managed to get her autograph and say hi

There were not that many people there, it was a quiet flight and alot of old people were flying so they didnt realise who it was.

I suppose, was the best time to get a picture taken but the guy with her was being a nob

He was having none of it and wanted to keep moving

Took some pics of my girls on their way in and then out of the signing. Gonna put them on my FB when Ive more time. Its so funny; Looks as if my youngest didnt get to meet them, she was crying so much! Aston, her favourite, even asked her if she was ok, cos she was shaking. When she told them she had been queing since 2 in the morning, they were incredulous! Just a shame it was all so hurried. There was security everywhere and each girl was only allowed 30 seconds each with them

The security guys even told them they could take pics of the boys, but not WITH them!

But the band were letting them anyway, and even got told off themselves!!!

My 14 year old has this slightly fuzzy pic of her and Aston on her phone. She was shaking so much, he was holding on to her wrist to steady her hand when she took the photo

She swore she would never wash her hand again!!!

Still doesn't matter they won't let any fans near and I suppose it is their job to protect the star.

They will deffo make top 10

, i'm glad now they are away from Simon Cowells influence. I watched an interview with them the other day and they said they have written most of the tracks themselves and only 2 songs are written by the record company they are signed to.

Aww bless them. I bet they'll be on cloud nine for ages and you'll be the best mum in the world for a while

Reminds me off when I met New Kids on the Block when I was 14. I cried and screamed and nearly broke Donnie Warlbergs neck I squeezed him that tight

Theyre certainly talented. When they sing... acapella (?) (without music) they sound top notch. Hope if they get big, it wont go to their heads. Such a nice bunch of boys.

They won't get big headed, they're just down to earth and don't think they are it unlike Alex Burke.

There were hundreds if not more, girls, outside HMV, when the signing happened. The group were upstairs and before they signed, they kept opening the windows and waving. The screams from all the girls were deafening!!

There were some mums who were complaining too! Saying to security that they arrived at 8am and that it was out of order all the wristbands had gone and their girls couldnt meet them. I dont think it occured to them that because the shop opened at 8, it didnt mean they would have to que before that time. There were all these girls crying. coz they were out of luck. This is why we done the hotel thing! Cost me £50, but well worth it. Couldnt imagine the dissapointment if theyd gone up there and not been able to see them.

It's a shame for the ones who didn't get to meet them but thier parents should have known to turn up before 8am. You were smart and even though it cost you £50 I bet the looks on your kids faces was worth it?

When my daughter said she'd been queing up from 2 am, she said they were all looking at eachother in surprise and Marvin, the one that wears the green (they all have their own colour!) said to her "you've been queing up since that time for us?" Think they were a bit shocked! Us mums werent allowed upstairs when they met them

Security took them up. A couple of mothers queued up and got a wristband so they could meet the guys too! Dont think I could deprive a teenage girl of meeting them, myself

Id feel very guilty!

for sure! I know it was worth it because my daughters were just besides themselves with excitement. Even now, my youngest, will suddenly SCREAM at the top of her head, and shriek "Aston kissed me"!!!!

Got used to it now... Hope she doesnt hurt herself in the near future, coz if she screams, I just ignore it at the mo!!!!
