I've got a stag do in Barcelona this month, but my passport has been washed with my clothes 
Will it still be accepted? It's been dried out, and the "picture page" is all ok.
Kinda desperate, as I've not got the time to get another one

Try and get it checked out at a passport office if you have one local because now is the time to get a replacement fast tracked if it is bad.

i think im getting confused but i thought we didnt need to use the passport if were going to a eu country or something... obviously im wrong and thinking of something different as you need the passport for security etc.... maybe im thinking of driving license?

hmm, according to the passport office i think you best get ordering a new one "What condition is your passport in?
If the film has separated from Photo page (biographical page) of your passport, then this will be regarded as damaged. You will need to apply for a new passport and include a birth certificate as proof of identity.
If your passport with your clothes has been laundered in the washing machine, you will need to apply for a new passport. It will be damaged and not accepted by any Immigration Authority. When you apply for a new passport include a birth certificate as proof of identity."
