It's not rocket science
miss the boat
no pain, no gain
pull yourself together
so far so good
speak of the devil
The last straw!
Your guess is as good as mine
Actions speak louder than words
Don't cry over spilt milk
Every cloud has a silver lining
give someone the cold shoulder
have bigger fish to fry
It takes one to know one
a piece of cake
watch one's step
don't count the chickens before they hatch
take a rain check
blessing in disguise
