  1. (continued from previous page)
    The watched kettle never boils.
    Stick to your knitting and you'll soon get to the heel.
    You're as welcome as the flowers in May.
    The pot calling the kettle black.
    There are more ways of killing a cat than choking it with butter.
    Twopence halfpenny looking down on twopence.
    As fast as I am making a hole he is driving a nail in it.
    Shining like a cat's eye under a bed.
    Nature breaks out through the eyes of a cat.
