The posts above seem very very cheap, i would definitely budget a lot more than some of the stuff i am seeing.

Ive ran a 2 bed house for the last 3 years, on my own, the bills break down to approximately the following.

Water - £25pm
Oil(no gas) - £40pm
Electricity - £40pm
Council tax - £90pm (inc 25% discount)
Sky - £19pm
BT - £11pm
DSL - £19pm

Your list seems fine though

Make sure you let your work know about the change of address too.
Especially if you get your payslips posted to you or anything like that.

My flat in the middle of Cardiff is a VERY small 2 bed and it is just me here. Council tax is £110 with 25% discount. Are you going to be in Bristol still? if so it will probably be about the same as my tax.

Bills for me are-
Tax- £110
Electricity- £35
TV- £10
Phone-£30
Internet-£20
No gas, and water is paid for in the rent.

The worst thing for me is food prices as i really struggle to spend less than £45 a week now.

Also double check places have BT lines installed as my flat didnt and that costs over £100 to get sorted!

It's not based on todays value but 1991

Unless you live in Wales where houses were rebanded in 2003.

Always remember to factor in food, I live with my girlfriend and a pet lab our food/toiletries/cleaning products bill is now around £350-400 a month which is the second highest bill. In the last few months we have not had a shopping bill under £100 due to the increase in food prices.
