I trust that her Council tax Bill includes single person discount? It's higher than mine though it maybe the property band. I am a single mum, working full time and don't expect handouts, although I do get tax credits and child benefits, no point applying for Housing benefit as my wages fluctuate if I do overtime. And my current gas/elec is £130 a month. ( fixed rate Scottish Power, I know it's a lot but I can't see the point in being cold and we usually knock it down to bear minimum during the cricket season!)

Costs me £12.50 a week to get to work and £15 bus fares for the child to school, I certainly couldn't afford to run a car.
Life's tough sometimes, and it would be easier if there was a partner to share the bills but hey ho!!
