July WOTM competition week 2

It's been a quiet week on NB this week, which turned out to be a bit of a bonus for me as I've been off on holiday without WiFi.  Thanks to a data bolt on and using my mobile as a WiFi hotspot I've been able to keep on top of the FPs and NiBs that did make the site and this evening have managed to update the details while shuffling the washing around.

Well both Crayon and YB have been posting hard this week and we now have two joint leaders as we enter week 3, and quite a few others are in close contention.  This isn't looking like a high scoring month, but the competition has all the hallmarks of a dash to the finishing line later on.
