I'm pretty sure you mean "stuffed to the gills" which means one is very full. out of the frying pan and into the fire means going from a bad situation to a worse one nose to the grindstone means you are working very hard on pins and needles is when you are nervous about something pie in the sky is being very happy or very optimistic head in the sand means you are hiding from something, like a bad situation, something that you don't want to see. just what the doctor ordered is something that is perfect for the situation. like when you are tired, a bed is "just what the doctor ordered" to bury the hatchet means to let bygones be bygones and to forgive and forget, to settle an argument

Walking on pins and needles = not talking about something that might upset someone
drove me up the wall = making me feel annoyed

Walking on pins and needles means being very cautious of what you say or do.
You drove me up a wall means you're making me crazy.

Walking on pins and needles is a way of saying you are walking softly and deliberately in other words being wary and or careful. To say you are driving me up a wall is synonymous with you are driving me crazy
