WW started laying staff off towards the end of the year.<\/p>\n<h3>2002<\/h3>\n<p>WW went into liquidation and hence I was made redundant. I became self-employed and started freelancing for many ex-WW clients. Went to the south of France with Lettice&#8217;s family &#8211; first time I&#8217;d ever seen the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n<h3>2003<\/h3>\n<p>I spent the first part of the year working on a site for the BBC.
