Moaning and complaining is good for your blood pressure.

Yes who would have thought it? Professor Hank Marvin writes today in the Mirror that a good old moan is actually beneficial. Moaners (not to confused with remoaners) live longer, have lower blood pressure and sharper follicles than their sunny counterparts. So go ahead, crack open a can of lager and have a good old moan.

sorry Squiffy, you are correct. The whining and complaining must be done to another person. The rewards are great though.

If only I could keep hubby to a 15 min moan a day or even Wednesdays only - what bliss!

I suggest a giant eggtimer.

With the 'countdown' music as the time draws near to end the conversation quickly.

An unfortunate coincidence Cherry. I assure you Hank is genuine. He has letters after his name and went to Harvard.
