all in good time | used to tell sb to wait, be patient; all in its time |
at the drop of a hat | bez gadania, natychmiast |
before your time | before you were born or lived/worked somewhere |
for good | without the possibility of change in the future |
for the time being | for now |

in/for donkey's years | an extremely long time |
in the nick of time | in the last moment |
once in a blue moon | very rarely |
on the spur of the moment | instantaneously, without thinking carefully about it |
the ohter day | recently |
