I moved my bed last night to find a lovely wet patch in the corner of the wall with mould and stuff.
For some strange reason I think this might be damp.
I live in a college owned house, so will be talking to them about it in the meantime, but is there anything in particular I can do to try and help the situation until then?
I slept in the spare room last night as I've got an awful cough and housemates decided that the damp right next to my bed where I sleep probably isn't helping.
I don't dry clothes in my room, it seemed fine when I moved in in September, and I've got a tiny window that's always got condensation and a view straight onto the road so I keep the curtain shut a lot.

I think the best thing to do is keep windows open as much as possible, do not dry clothing indoors ang try not to have furniture pressed up against walls. Inreality most of those are stupid unpractical ideas though
Never dry anything in my room, there's no room. Have moved the bed away from the wall for the time being, am guessing that will help.
