Some of the ones listed, are ones I heard growing up too.
My mum still says now "It's funnier than a piece of string" ??
DH says "In & out like a dog at a fair", usually about the cat who wants to be let in or out all day long, lol.

Also heard in our house as we were growing up:

Wriggling round like a fart in a bottle. LMAO, that always cracks me up

Another one mum used to use was when either me or my brothers did something (like leaving a towel on the floor) and we all said it wasn't us she would come back with "Mr Nobody did it"

My mum used to give us the following if asked what was for dinner:

Smack on the bum and a run around the table
A glass of water and worm (we used to think this was hilarious!)

Others:
Slow as a wet week (I used to wonder what type of animal a week was...)

We used to get a glass of water and a worm too!

The best one I heard was from a tow-truck driver - "if you're looking for sympathy, you'll find it in the dictionary between sh!t and syphilis"
