I was listening to Radio 5 live tonight here in the UK, on the way home from work.

They were talking about mixed metaphors and I had a chortle at some of the ones people could remember.

Here are a few of my favourites:

From now on, I’m watching everything you do with a fine-tuned comb.

He’s burning the midnight oil from both ends.

A leopard can't change his stripes.

Now I'm going to have to add a few to some of my stories, but not sure how to do it without getting my knickers in a spin.

Hugs
Sue
