New one on me

- something surprising that one did not know before

My friend's desire to go to London is a new one on me.

Nine-day wonder

- someone/something who briefly attracts a lot of attention

The man was a nine-day wonder but soon was forgotten by most of the people at his former company.

Nine times out of ten

- almost always

Nine times out often if you have a problem on the computer it is something small that can be easily fixed.

Nine-to-five job/attitude

- a routine job in an office, attitude to life that reflects routine

He has a nine-to-five attitude and is not doing very well as a salesperson in his company.

number one (look after/take care of number one)

- oneself

His attitude is to always look after number one without thinking about anybody else.

On all fours

- on one's hands and knees

The man was down on all fours in the store looking for the keys to his car.

On cloud nine

- very happy

My sister has been on cloud nine since she won the new car in the contest.

One and only

- the only person or thing

The company has been selling the one and only compatible printer in the world.

One and the same

- exactly the same

Doing the job at home or at the company is one and the same to me so feel free to do what you want.
