50mm 1.8 (or the 35mm 1.Cool are both excellent lenses, great to play with depth of field and get blurred backgrounds.
Good practice as well getting a prime and getting used to zooming with your feet.

Just realised the d3200 won't auto-focus with the 50mm, might be worth paying the extra for the 35mm or the 50mm AF-s, both around £150

Yes, and this is the compatible 50mm.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nikon-AF-S-NIKKOR-50mm-1-8G/dp/B004Y1AYAC/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1370116248&sr;=1-1&keywords;=nikon+50mm

Depends where you want to use it, 50mm will give slightly nicer depth of field but 35mm will be more useable indoors.

35mm's a great lens, well worth the cash. The 18-55 you've got is a decent lens for a kit lens, depends what sort of stuff you're going to be shooting but the 18-200VR is worth a look if you want to upgrade and don't want to carry round a bag of primes.

A fisheye or super wide angle like the Sigma 10-20mm can be a lot of fun too, or if you're after a superzoom the 70-300VR is good for the money.

was just looking at that one generic_guy.

MrW that's starting to get out of my price range but would like to cop something like the 18-200vr don't really fancy lugging a bag of lens around unless I really need them so that's a good one for me initially then can build up a little range of lens.

cheers guys Cool
