Pressed for time

Pot-luck

Polishing peanuts

Play for time

Photo finish

Pass the time of day

Once bitten, twice shy

On the nose

Pressed for time

Pot-luck

Polishing peanuts

Play for time

Photo finish

Pass the time of day

Once bitten, twice shy

On the nose

Old chestnut

Off-hand

Nod’s as good as a wink

No time to lose

No time like the present

No time for

No harm, no foul

Nick of time

New brush sweeps clean

Many moons ago

Make hay

Made in the shade

Long time no see

Long time no hear

Little strokes fell great oaks

Like clockwork

Let’s call it a day

Legend in your own lunchtime

Lead someone up the garden path
