Had to share this with you -
On this forum ive come across great ideas from foil insulation to polystrene boards & loft insulation - then boarded over with hardboard.
My plan A was thermafoil then boarded over with hardboard, was going to cost 45 for the foil 30 for the hardboard & 30 delivery but i wudnt be able to cut the hardboard myself, so plan B was polystrene boards but theyre so expensive
Then i got talking to my mums new bf who breeds birds :/ who also owns an 8x6 shed for his animals, who told me he'd insulated his shed really cheap with polystyrene and had some left over
he turned up with with 2 rolls of this -
16ft roll 7mm thick £6.98

i needed more for the roof so i went for the cheaper option
30ft roll of 'warmaline' 2mm thick £3.48
http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav.j...refview=search&ts=1286369524141&isSearch=true
Basically the pebble 6.98 stuff is 'posher' & thicker and used for house ceilings but it says on the packet that its perfect for insulation.
Stocked by b&q & my local focus also has loads of it in
Ive bought the actual 'warmaline' adhesive to do the job which is £7.98
Its designed to be painted, my mums bf used emulusion on his but I'm going to use exterior paint from wilkinsons.
You just cut it to fit and glue it, then paint it whatever colour * like
Its soo easy - good job really seen as my babys due next month & I'm useless with DIY.
REALLY hope this helps someone/anyone
