It needs doing. I left the washing until I was on the verge of either wearing thongs or going commando as it was such a battle to get my mum to actually let me do it last time!!! It was a battle this time too, as apparently me banging all my clothes in the washer together because I couldn't be arsed to do more than 2 washes whilst at uni 15 years ago is enough to still ban me from doing the washing!!! I'm ok. Just tired and pushing through. Once I settle down to study it's easier.
