Household bills? what to expect?

Me and my girlfriend are looking at renting somewhere together, were looking at a 1 bedroom flat for 400/mo but this doesn't include our bills. so i was just wondering if anybody had a list of all the bills we are likely to come across and how much each bill would cost. i know the basic ones (water, electric gas ect) but i'm sure there are other bills that i will forget to put into my budget.

any help would be great

    Council tax and contents insurance are a few off the top of my head.

    You'll find the budget planner (under the Free tools section) on the right hand side of the page very good for prompting your memory for all possible household expenses.
