“i dagens läge”

en gång är ingen gång

once doesn't count, just this once

dra ut på tiden

to drag things out, to delay

Trampa i klaveret

To say something embarrassing; to put your foot in it.

rinna ut i sanden

to come to nothing

Ha många järn i elden

To be busy with many projects at once.

dra sitt strå till stacken

to contribute one's share

det spelar ingen roll

it doesn't matter

Få kalla fötter

To become nervous and back out.
