Jan and I have been together for 11 years today! A long time. Unfortunately, he has choir practice tonight so we won’t be celebrating until the weekend.
Apparently, if this were a wedding anniversary, it would be steel.
In German, numbers made up of repeating digits are calles Schnapszahlen (in maths, they use the English term repdigits. Boring!). The term Schnapszahl comes from the fact that in lots of dice games if all the dice added together make a number with all the same digits, the person who rolled it has to drink a schnapps. Sounds like a much better gift than steel to me 😉
So much has changed since our last anniversary, and I’m really looking forward to starting a new adventure together. Here’s to (at least) another 11 years!
Confuzzledom 
Congrats you two!!!
Thank you!
Happy anniversary! Better get some Schnapps and celebrate!
Thanks! Celebrate probably, but no schnaps! It’s really not my thing 😉
Congrats! Making it to 11 years is quite an achievement.
Happy anniversary to you two!
Congratulations and good luck with your new adventure!
Congratulations on your 11 years. XX
I hope you get the chance to celebrate with some schnapps. 🙂
Wow, 11 years! That is fantastic! And impressive! Congratulations! Hope you can drink a schnaps tonight!
Thank you 🙂 No schnaps, sadly, but maybe we’ll celebrate tonight.
Happy Anniversary to both of you! How lovely! You should share your secrets to success. 🙂 I’m very, very happy for you and wish you both all the best.
Ask me in a few years after we’ve moved 😉 Right now I suspect it’s hardly actually seeing each other 😛
Congrats on your anniversary!!
Thank you 🙂
Happy Anniversary! Hope you can enjoy a nice celebration over the weekend! 🙂
Thank you. We’ll try to find time 🙂
Love your random facts there ha! Happy steel non-wedding anniversary! 11years is quite a length of time! When did we get old enough to be able to have a partner for 11 years!
I know!! I don’t feel anywhere near old enough to have been in a relationship for 11 years!
Yay happy anniversary! That is a long time! 🙂 Shame you couldn’t celebrate yesterday but hope you have a great time celebrating over the weekend!
Thank you. We both have today off so might manage to celebrate once we’ve done flat-hunty stuff!
Now that is interesting… I’d never heard of repdigits (nor has the WP spellchecker, evidently), and I thought that Schnapszahl came from the “fact” that when you’re very pissed, you start to see double!
That was the other explanation Wikipedia gave 🙂
wow congratulations on 11 years! That’s huge!
Thanks 🙂
Congratulations! Schnapps is tough stuff. Too strong for me.
Lol, schnapps isn’t my favourite either!
Happy anniversary! Hope your next year is even better than the last!
Thanks 🙂
Congratulations to the both of you! 🙂
Thank you 🙂
YAYAYAY! Happy anniversary!
Haha, thank you!
Happy belated anniversary! I hope you had a lovely time on the weekend. I’m just catching up with blogland!!
Thank you! Don’t worry, I’ve been behind on my blog reading lately as well.
Happy anniversary!
Thank you!
