A chip on your shoulder

A drop in the bucket

A feather in your cap

A fly in the ointment

A needle in a haystack

A rolling stone gathers no moss

A stitch in time saves nine

A stone's throw

A watched pot never boils

A wolf in sheep's clothing

All that glitters is not gold

Back to square one

Barking up the wrong tree

Batten down the hatches

Beat a dead horse

Beat around the bush

Beat the bushes

Blow your own trumpet

Caught with your hand in the cookie jar

Caught with your hand in the till

Caught with your pants down

Caught with your trousers down

Cross that bridge when you come to it
