You could have your wages paid into the other half's account.

Barclays are BR friendly. 
The same cannot be said for the Halifax group

We have seperate bank accounts, she is with Halifax, i am with Lloyds. Have just opened a barclays basic account, hopefully in time for my wages this week!!

Halifax used to close a bank account if you went BR, not sure if they have got more bankrupt friendly but I would be prepared to open a new account ready.

Not a good ideas as Halifax have a history of closing accounts where the person has gone bankrupt

You're one of the the few that slipped through then :-)
They use to send a letter which basically said you can never bank with us ever again

Old staff account so maybe that is why.

Thanks for all the advice, chose Barclays after good reviews on this site. I think Lloyds are part of the same group as Halifax, hopefully Barclays will open the account quickly, will get onto the OR first thing and try to get some money out of my account.
