it was a piece of cake - it was really easy.
I'm over the moon! - I'm so happy!
i was like a fish out of water - i didn't know what i was doing
that was a close shave! - i nearly have an accident/ made mistake, but i didn't
it drives me nuts! - it makes me so angry!
hold your horses! - wait a minute!
I have to start from scratch - i have to begin again
you're pulling my leg! - you're joking
