My guesses from the first 10:

4. Blowing hot and cold.

6. Thinking outside the box.

7. Passed with flying colours.

8. Third Wheel

9. Going round the bend.

10. A bee in your bonnet.


Only got number 2 from the 6:

2. Gross injustice.

first 5. the lone wolf

The rest is up to native english speakers. I German the 8th would have been the "fifth wheel on a cart".
