The Adventures of Knuckles

2010-02-16T17:00:00.010Z

Knuckles is a good friend of Amy’s, & has an equally busy lifestyle! As director of his large multinational company “Tiny But Mighty Inc.”, he is a shrewd business man (think Allan Sugar, but smaller) & always busy closing some deal or another. Here he is at a recent board meeting:

A major part of his multi-million pound empire is property development, & he’s not afraid to get stuck in & do some of the dirty work himself - in fact he’s very skilled at DIY.

It’s not all work & no play for Knuckles though, & in his spare time he loves to travel, & likes going on road trips - like here - he's getting ready for a trans-pennine adventure in his chauffer driven vehicle.

He also likes to travel further afield, & somehow always manages to look fresh after a long haul flight - even when the other passengers don’t!

And finally, here he is during one of his favourite trips of last year -doing spot of sight-seeing in San Francisco - check him out travelling down California Street in a cable car!

A day in the life of Amy

I want to tell you about a little pink hedgehog called Amy. She’s just a modern girl with a hectic lifestyle - just check out what she gets up to in a typical day! First of all, she’s workin’ 9 ‘til 5...

Then, like so many other career women these days, after a hard day at the office she’s got to come home & do the housework...

But she won’t let that get in the way of her social life, oh no - she’s a proper party girl & is always going out to gigs & stuff. She went to see 2 Many DJ’s this summer which she loved - she’s such a massive fan!

She also enjoys hanging out with her closest friends....

And loves holidaying in the sun!

But after a long day, she can get pretty tired out, plus she likes to make sure she gets her beauty sleep, so it's off to to bed for young Amy. I’m sure we’ll hear more from her in the future though!

Calling all gaming widows...

We’ve all been there, haven’t we girls? Your boyfriend has some new PS3 / Xbox / other games console game that he suddenly has to play every spare second... And what do we do? Do we feel neglected, & sulk? Or nag him not to play it so much? I have considered these 2 options, but the truth is that my boyfriend just gets SO excited about these things that I don’t have to heart to rain on his parade. So I generally occupy myself with other things & smile sweetly whenever he remembers that I am in the room. But this weekend I tried something different. Option 3.

His latest thing is the racing game Forza Motorsport on the Xbox. I’ve watched him race a few times, but yesterday I asked if I could have a go. I’m not a gamer at all, so I was pretty rubbish at first, but I persevered, & after a while, not only was I much better, I found that I was actually really enjoying it! And what’s more I think my boyfriend enjoyed showing me how to play too. So, my advice to all gaming widows out there is this - just get involved! After all, as they say, if you can’t beat them, join them - and you might even find that you enjoy it!

Just one more tip though - make sure that you pick the right game. I really liked Forza, but I will always be terrible at virtua tennis. I think it's a hand-eye coordination issue; maybe it's a girl thing, or maybe it's just me. Either way, I’m so bad at it that when we attempted to play a match a few weeks ago I just got incredibly annoyed, which kind of defeated the whole point...

Hi, I’m Princess Scampi, welcome to my blog!

I’ll be posting my thoughts on all sorts of things, and since I don’t really filter my brain as much as I probably should do, I guess it might end up being a bit random...

So that’s it really, it’s just a blog where you can read the honest thoughts of a 100% genuine princess (honestly!) who somehow ended up being re-named (by her boyfriend) after some battered seafood.... See I told you - random! No one actually reads these things anyway, right?
