Sit down
Grab a seat
Wait, hold on, or stop
Hold your horses
You’re doing great
Killing it
Like pulling teeth
Feels like something very difficult to do, painful (something you don't want to do)
To start doing something with excitement
Dive in
Can I have change
Can you break this for me?
To have no set plans and see how things go
Play it by ear
Shot in the dark
To take a chance/guess
Do what makes you happy
Whatever floats your boat
Taking a chance even when it is risky
Out on a limb
To persuade someone to join an activity or do something even when they don’t want to do it
Got roped in
Wrapped around your finger
have control over someone
Frustrated, sick and tired
Fed up
Something may take a very long time, or never happen, don’t count on it
I won’t hold my breath
To tell about/reveal a secret
Spill the beans
Just a hoop you have to jump through
Another thing you need to do to get what you want
