June WOTM week 2

Two weeks in and Immacagain is looking like she has set up an unassailable lead, being 20 points ahead of the second runners.  I guess that's the reward for submitting regular, good work.  But there's still two weeks to go, so it is possible for someone to pull back.

In the ticker race, Titus and DavidH are currently battling it out, with dominic_mcg and Maxine Jones pushing hard on their tails.

Also worth noting that there are some new names on here, hello to you newcomers. All are welcome

Let's see what the next week has to hold!
