I want to insulate this room tomorrow, then spend the winter studying
how to insulate the other rooms and mending the roof and drains etc...

It's a bedroom upstairs,,
double brick walls to the other rooms, a wide stone covered wall to the
outside, a metal framed window,
floorboards with old plaster on the cold room ceiling below, a chimney
with a small wood and coal rayburn and a door with quite a draught under
it.

if i go to b+q and the local yards tomorrow and buy some boards of some
kind
and glue them to the ceieling and walls and floor what kind of boards
should i buy?

maybe next year i'll do the other rooms properly, but i'd like to be
warm in one room this winter!

thanks

==================================
Start with a good draught excluder on the draughty door. Visit your local
discount carpet shop and buy a piece of felt / felt-backed carpet which is
quite reasonably priced, easy to lay loose and almost completely
draught-proof. Get a piece large enough to cover the entire floor.

If this is to be a temporary measure you could put polystyrene tiles on
the ceiling. They're cheap and if anybody sees them you can blame somebody
else for their presence.

Re-assess the situation regarding wall boards when you've stopped the
draughts.
