Suddenly, for no apparent reason, my washing machine won't spin. I'm an OAP and can't really afford a new one. Any suggestions?

Providing the washer is emptied the water from the drum,and you can open the door.Then the most common cause of failure to spin is worn motor brushes.Get someone to remove the motor, and inspect the carbon motor brushes.If the brushes x2 have worn down to 10mm or less.,Replace them,.
