    I can't seem to get past the £120 a month for ALL household bills. That's my Council Tax alone... I'm in awe.
    Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....

    Won't that cause problems when asked for a utility bill as evidence of identity?

    We have them split between the two of us.

    Council Tax will be in both names so this can be used. I used to work for Halifax and this happened all the time, people coming in saying they had no bills in their name. Council Tax notice, even though it is only received once a year can be used the whole year through for ID purposes, not just 3 months like other utility bills.
