Don't count your chickens before they hatch
To make ends meet
Kill two birds with one stone
To let the cat out of the bag
The writing is on the wall
Be on the cards
It's no use crying over spilled milk
A close shave / A narrow escape
To be as deaf as a post
To put the cart before the horse
As blind as a bat
To fly off the handle
Where there's a will there's a way
To sweep someone off their feet
Be my guest
To be thin on the ground
Give somebody a piece of your mind
Leave somebody in the lurch
To be barking up the wrong tree
To know something like the back of your hand
To throw somebody in at the deep end
To be as fit as a fiddle
To pass the buck
To catch somebody red-handed
To be like taking candy from a baby
To make a killing
To sit on the fence
To play second fiddle
(be) on the ropes
The last straw
Be in one's element
A rolling stone gathers no moss
To be at/on the receiving end
Harp on about something
Fiddle about/around with something
No rest for the wicked
To spread like wildfire
(not) be one's cup of tea
To show somebody's true colours
Pull your socks up
Come to terms with something
To get on like a house on fire
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Sell like hot cakes
Call it a day
On the spur of the moment
A wet blanket
Take something for granted
Better the devil you know than the devil you don't
To have a ball
Don't burn your bridges
Great minds think alike
To face the music
Pay through the nose
Have a go
Have a go at someone or something
Out of the blue
Once bitten, twice shy
It's easier said than done
Go in for the kill
On thin ice
To play things by ear
The die is cast
Be spoilt for choice
It can't be helped
Speak volumes
To get wind of something
Actions speak louder than words
The grass is always greener on the other side
To be in hot water
To go with the flow
To get the hump
Better safe than sorry
Tongue in cheek
The luck of the draw
To lose the plot
While the cat's away, the mice will play
To be beside the point
(Don't) judge the book by its cover
Think the world of somebody/something
To call a spade a spade
Out of sight, out of mind
In the nick of time
It never rains but it pours
Be/feel under the weather
To make do
To blow your top
