Camera Lens Kit

Finding a replacement kit lens for a Canon EOS 400D DSLR Camera?
Ok, so I recently smashed the kit lens for my camera because of a faulty tripod - camera's ok but now out of warranty so I can't get it replaced. I need a lens, just the same as the lens I originally had, which comes with the camera - 18-55mm focal length. I know it's not an amazing lens but it did the job for about two years and I'd like to still have it for the future! They seem to be very difficult to source online. Any chance anyone knows of anywhere selling them on?
Thankyou!
Thanks for your help so far! I'd love to upgrade to one of those lenses, but i simply don't have £300 to spend on one, never mind £500 
Also, Fishmeister - any suggestions? I know it's not a great lens but it would do the job for £30 til I save up enough for a better one.
If you are talking about the 18-55mm (non IS) lens then good riddance, don't buy another one!. They are considered the worst kit lens Canon have even produced. I sold mine unused for about £30 buy it now on eBay and I consider that a good price. Don't waste your money and time on another piece of crap lens like that, save your money and buy a proper lens.. The fact that it broke is a blessing in disguise.
Now go buy a good quality real lens.

Additional: I understand that money can be an issue. If however you were happy with the lens and happy with the images it took then you have no reason to buy a more expensive lens, the 18-55mm (non-IS) is on ebay frequently for very little money.
If however you can stretch your budget to £90-120 then you could look at buying the 18-55mm IS version which is a very nice lens!..

You may also consider looking on eBay for one of these ..

I bought one of eBay for £55 and it is a great lens. Distance window, metal mount, USM, great image quality. I do recommend looking out for one on eBay, I use this as my 'walkabout' lens frequently.
Also consider the Canon 50mm f/1.8 II (about £80-90)
