Wifey does! However, just to prove that it is not always us blokes who put off jobs, we have a pair of curtains in a spare bedroom that have been pinned along the hem for at least ten years. She'll run 'em through the machine, one day.

Ah yes. Plus elastic band, nail, match stick, lolly stick and a bit of candle.
The other term for the washers is "penny washers". Lots here.

And penknife so you could cut notches in the flanges to improve the

I 'rescued' some 15mm white water pipe from next door's garden - woudn't use it for mains as it had been outside for years - and use that for spacers. Needed to space off some 40mm waste pipe on a tapering gap and the 15mm was handy ;-)
