It can get quite complicated sometimes.
We have some close friends who are a lesbian couple and they have the same problem in reverse.

We are not of the same sex, i just dont like calling him my boyfriend as it sounds so childish, so until i get a nice blig on my finger, (hopefully soon) he will be refferred to as my partner, then i can call him my fiancee if i can learn how to spell it that is

Using the terms boyfriend and girlfriend when you are 32 and 31 does seem a bit daft...

Me, hubby and 2 children (6 and 4) are heading out July/August time. We have just got our visa and need to validate by August 17th. Now the visa's here we have spent Christmas thinking (and getting scared of!) all the things we have to do between now and then like decide to sell or rent our house, pick a place to live (probably Sunshine Coast but also looking around Brisbane), look at schools, hand in notice (hooray!!) sort out removals .......yikes, so many things to do, so little time to do them in!!

Myself, Hubby and 2 kids aged 5yrs and 2yrs are hopefully heading out April May time just waiting to sell house. Where? That all depends on getting a official job offer (had verbal in Oct 2004).Job is in Perth. If not either Brisbane or Adelaide

Have a good trip. See you are from Jersey - my mum, sis, aunt live there still. Loads of people from Jersey seem to emigrate to Oz. I have only got as far as England but now with visa in hand it will be QLD in July!!
Have fun
