She is now living in Canggu, a resort village on the south coast of the Indonesian island of Bali, that’s surrounded by terraced rice paddies, and is in the process of building her own villa.
Revealing “one of the best things about living in Bali”, Amee claimed that having a cleaner is near the top of her list.
She explained: “She has done all my washing for me, put it out to dry, she even scrubs my whites, she scrubs everything.
“Everything is just put away so neatly - all the kids' toys.”

Moving house hacks
1. Declutter Before You Pack
Sort through your belongings and get rid of anything you no longer need. Donate, sell, or recycle items to lighten your load.
2. Create an Inventory
Make a list of all your items. This helps keep track of everything and ensures nothing gets lost in the move.
3. Use Quality Packing Materials
Invest in sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and packing tape. This will protect your belongings during the move.
4. Label Everything
Clearly label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to. This makes unpacking much easier and more organized.
5. Pack a 'First Day' Box
Include essentials like toiletries, a change of clothes, snacks, and important documents. This will keep you from rummaging through boxes on your first day.
6. Take Photos of Electronics Setup
Before unplugging your electronics, take photos of the wiring setup. This will make it easier to reconnect everything at your new place.
7. Use Suitcases for Heavy Items
Pack books and other heavy items in rolling suitcases. This makes them easier to transport and reduces the risk of injury.
8. Colour-Code Your Boxes
Use different coloured stickers or markers for each room. This will help movers quickly identify where each box should go in your new home.
Additionally, she continued: “At home in the UK, I used to get so overwhelmed and I felt like I wasn't able to be present with my children because I was always stressed.
“It costs us 1.5 million [Indonesian Rupiah] a month to have [a cleaner] twice a week, which is about £75, but I always tip her because I am so pleased with how she does things - she goes above and beyond.”
