Thank you :)
And you are right, I do not like to swear :)
I leave that to Sam ;)
Thanks to both of you :)

Indeed, Jules did send proof of her memberships & subscriptions. But she didn't need to go to that trouble -- the rules only required some swearing.
But she makes a good point, and perhaps she doesn't like to swear. So there may be two winners for #1. Jules will get the two prints for sure, and Susan Harris has told me she will confirm her information when she returns from India.
There are still no winners for #2 or #3.
