FLO do a range of Astro Essentials eyepieces and are all within your budget.

DSO's come in all sorts of shapes and sizes so there is not one particular eyepiece focal length that suits all.

Having a low power eyepiece is useful for the larger ones and also for finding the smaller ones before using higher power though.

For your budget a 32mm plossl should be possible and it would work well with the scope. The 32mm in the Astro Essentials range is probably as good as any as @banjaxed mentions above:

There isn't much of a choice for under £30. I would suggest getting HyperFlex 7.2-21.5mm zoom. It costs more than £30, but covers entire range. At higher powers you get wider field of view, at the 21m end it is going to be a little narrower than a plossl. I would also add 32mm plossl for the widest field. 

A little more expensive option for a bit wider field would be StarGuider series.

Plus one for the astro essentials plossls, bought a couple for my 'away' kit & i've been  pleasantly suprised.

Excellent VFM.

Does say on FLO website they're best for >F6 ~though i doubt you'll beat them for £30.
