Insulating sheds /summerhouses

When we move i want to insulate the shed and summerhouse
Can anyone tell me what i will need to do it?
And roughly what it will cost?
 
I used 2" expanded polystyrene and just slotted it between the joists:

Can't honestly remember how much it was. Not massively expensive. I will take a wild guess at about £45 to do the 7x5 shed. :?

Does it work well?
do you have a heater in there too?

To be honest I don't know, since I insulated it before the first winter, so I have nothing to compare it against.

It did get down to -3 the other night here, but the buns water bowl was fine in the morning (no heater), so it is obviously working fairly well.

I used a greenhouse heater last year to keep it above freezing on the very cold nights:

However, I have been reading the other thread on heating with interest, so I might buy one of those instead. :)
