1 rushed off my feet: This is the best choice here. To be "rushed off one's feet" is to be very "busy", "hurried", or "have lots of things to do". Example: "I've been rushed off my feet all day, and now all I want is a glass of wine and a good book". Note that this is a British expression, and is not used in American English.
1 swept off my feet: This is incorrect. To be "swept off one's feet" is to be "overwhelmed romantically!". Example: "He took her out to dinner, bought her flowers and perfume, and generally swept her off her feet". This does not make sense in the context of this sentence.
1 footing the bill: This is incorrect. To "foot the bill" means to "pay for" or "settle" a bill or invoice. Example: "The extension to our house is lovely, but unfortunately I had to foot the bill". This does not make sense in the context of this sentence.
1 putting my foot in it: This is incorrect. The expression "to put one's foot in it" means to make a gaffe, or say something which one shouldn't. Example: "I really put my foot in it when I asked how his dog was. The dog died two weeks ago".
2 get a kick out of: This is the best choice here. To "get a kick out of" something is to "enjoy" it or "take great pleasure from" it. Example: "He gets a kick out of learning new languages".
2 kick off: This is incorrect. To "kick off" is to "start" or "begin" an action. Example: "The match kicked off half an hour ago". This does not make sense in the context of this sentence.
2 kick the bucket: This is incorrect. The expression "to kick the bucket" is a colloquial way of saying "to die". Example: "My wife was a millionaire, but she kicked the bucket before I had chance to spend her money". This does not make sense in the context of this sentence.
2 kick out: This is incorrect. The expression "to kick (someone) out" means to "forcibly eject" or "oblige to leave". Example: "My parents kicked me out of their house on my eighteenth birthday and told me to get a job". This does not make sense in the context of this sentence.
3 Break a leg!: This is the best choice here. The expression "break a leg!" is used to wish people "good luck", especially before a theatrical performance. Actors insist on using this expression, because, ironically, it is believed that saying "good luck" just before a performance actually brings bad luck on the actor! To "break a leg" literally describes the action of fracturing or breaking a bone in the leg (such as the femur for example).
3 Get a leg up!: This is incorrect. The expression "to get a leg up (on the competition)" means "to gain an advantage over (the competition)". Example: "He got a leg up in the company because his father was C.E.O.". This does not make sense in the context of this sentence.
3 Get legless!: This is incorrect. The term "legless" is used to describe somebody who is "very drunk" or has consumed far too much alcohol. Example: "I was legless last night. I could hardly drive in a straight line". This does not make sense in the context of this sentence.
3 Get your leg over!: This is incorrect. The expression "to get one's leg over" means to engage in sexual relations. Example: "I got my leg over last night!". This does not make sense in the context of this sentence.
