Living costs, roughly

Currently living with my parents but thinking it might be time to gerroff. Can you guys give me a rough idea of costs though? I lived with my ex back in 2004 so I’m not completly ignorant to it all but I know prices have changed considerably. From memory, here’s what it cost back then, what sort of change should I expect?

Rent: £400
Council tax: £96
Water: £15
Electric: £20
Food, approx: £250 for two
Other stuff, bog roll, cleaning etc: 15
Anything else? I knowAbout car, mobile etc and won’t have a telly (not interested) just after a rough idea whether I can afford to or not.
