I am rushed off my feet;
I am run off my feet;
am as busy as a bee;
I’ve been kept busy;
I’ve been beavering away all day;
I’ve been on the go all week;
I’ve been up to my ears in work;
I’ve been up to my eyes in work;
I’ve been snowed under with work;
I’ve been working like the clappers;
I’ve been working non-stop;
I haven’t had a minute to myself;
I’ve been running around like a madman;
I’m so busy, I don’t know whether I’m coming or going;
I’ve been hard at it; I’ve been tied up;
’ve been on the job all day;
I’ve been in the thick of it for days now;
I’ve been on the go non-stop;
I’ve had a lot on;
I’ve had a lot to do;
I´ve had a lot on my plate, recently;
I’m fully stretched;
I’m under a lot of pressure;
I’ve been on the trot all day;
It has been absolutely hectic;
It has been absolutely frantic;
I’ve had to get a move on with things;
It has been a hive of activity here;
It’s been an absolute stampede to finish on time;
I’ve been coming and going all week;
I’ve had my nose to the grindstone all day.
