to be like the arctic
very cold
very hot
to be like an oven
to rush around like mad to ger everything done
to hurry up to do smth
(to look) like being dragged through a hedge backwards
to have not a fresh look/ not presentable
to be dying of hunger
starving/ very hungry
for miles and miles
so far
go on and on
to complain on smth, talking without stop
ages and ages
i waited ages and ages (long)
to be miles away
so far
