Recording acoustic instruments over traffic noise

This was first posted on Microphone techniques and no one could help.

Hey guys. I've learned a great deal from this forum by viewing as a guest for some time... so for all the help... thanks!

Now I have a direct problem that I hope you can help with.
I've moved into a new house and lost my "studio" space. The only room available to record in now is the bedroom (with the box room acting as a budget control room). The problem is that this room is at the front of the house near a busy road and has very old thin windows.

Is there any way of treating this room (in a temporary manner as it's rented) on a minimal budget (under £100)? I was thinking of the old duvet trick acting as a 'back wall' on the window side of the room and using the Auralex Xpanders kit to minimise external noise.

I only record acoustic guitar and vocals in this space.

Oh... and I live with my partner who is very understanding (but only upto a limit!).
