2021-02-15 05:15:04 cross that bridge when we come to it

Meaning
You can say "we'll cross that bridge when we come to it" if someone mentions a problem that might occur in the future, but you want them to think about what's happening now instead.

For example

Jenny worries too much about things that might happen in the future, so people are always saying "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it" to her.
Martin asked what we'd do if our new company couldn't find good staff when we needed to expand, and I said we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

2021-01-31 13:50:29 Jill of all trades(, master of none)

A woman who is skilled in or adept at a wide variety of tasks or abilities (i.e., the female equivalent of "Jack of all trades"). If used with "master of none," it implies that while competent in a variety of things, she is not highly skilled in a particular one.

I've had all sorts of different jobs through the years, so I consider myself quite a Jill of all trades!
Mary just sort of floated between different interests after she left high school—a Jill of all trades, but master of none.

2021-01-31 13:50:29 fresh as a daisy

Meaning
If you feel as fresh as a daisy, you feel energetic and lively.

For example

I might look awful first thing in the morning, but after a cup of tea and a bit of meditation I'm as fresh as a daisy.

George looked terrible when he got to work, so Annie said, "Fresh as a daisy this morning, are we?" and George just grunted.
