Shed conversion - dry lining and ceiling

I've posted a lot of questions in this newsgroup so I hope I'm not boring anyone...



Some dry-lining and ceiling questions:



I have fixed vertical battens every 600mm across the face of all the walls in the shed. I plan to use 12.5mm plasterboard so do I have to fix horizontal battens (apart from top and bottom)?



Should I fix the ceiling before dry-lining the walls?...



I was planning to nail 12.5mm plasterboard to the ceiling joists. The joists are 500mm apart. Do I need to put in "cross-pieces" between the joists? I was palnning to lay lengths of 35mm Celotex between the joists for insulation. Is this OK?



Thoughts and suggestions please.



Thanks

For a shed, I wouldn't bother. Sounds like work. Of course, the ceiling is more likely to crack without them, but do you care?

That's a very good idea. Even better if you can lay them on top as well, to eliminate cold bridging.
