get far too much enjoyment from doing things on cheap bikes
I'm all for TT on cheap bikes. My 13 year old cervelo is still competitive aerodynamically compared to what is on offer at the moment (shame I'm not!).
Some cheap upgrades would be decent overshoes and calf-guards/socks. You have to stop caring about what you look like, but you're already rocking a TT helmet so I'd say you're pretty much there.

That's the one! It feels like it shouldn't be half as bad as it is, haha. Glad to hear it's equally as unpleasant on a group ride too.
As for checking back in a year - I get far too much enjoyment from doing things on cheap bikes (my tarty commuter is an exception). The very crusty £5 Adamo has to stay now. And as much as I'd like a plastic aero weapon, I feel like the Graham Weigh is actually probably pretty well suited to this endeavour.
