I'll probably stick with the kit lens, but thanks for the advice. I'll look into it.

I remembered to look - 58mm

I reckon your best best will be second hand, I went in a little camera shop in Brighton called Clock Tower Cameras and they had loads of filters, because more and more PP is being done digitally coloured filters seem less available and more expensive new so I would have a nose around your local second hand shops and pick some up cheap

I noticed that Matt, 58mm filters seem to be less abundant than other sizes and more expensive

I noticed in the camera B&W settings it can filter colours digitally, so I might just cheat. I know it's naughty but no-one will be able to see me doing it and it's free

It's just a slider in Lightroom though, if you shoot in RAW and then apply the changes you'll have so much more flexibility
