Can you not simply say ... "I have spinned ..."

Not without putting any spin on it, themilum.

BTW here's a comprehensive definition of "spin" from today's Independent of London.

Headline: "The operation went according to plan. Shame about the spin"

"Spin is briefing journalists so that they report, without attribution, messages the Government wants put across but does not want to say. Spin is suggesting to journalists the coded messages in what was actually said. Spin is putting a gloss on the facts, turning a deficit into a surplus, and previously announced spending into "new" money. It is repackaging old policies into new ones."
