Regarding temperature corrections.

You can get used to the topic, by always considering "hot day or cold day?" when flying an ILS. Get used to the altimeter under- or over-reading and you'll develop a feel for what looks right on any given day. This will help greatly when one day you have a 50' error at the FAP because it's 40 degrees at sea level.

On another note. Why do Australian pilots like to check height only at a marker beacon, notwithstanding Ancient's advice? DME (or GPS in lieu of DME) is both more accurate and more flexible.
