Hi,
is it an idiomatic form 'one down, and a lot to go'?
This is the example I found: someone is trying to get in a shop, at night. He tries the front door, but it's locked tight. 'That's one down, and a lot to go', he thinks. And he tries to slip in through a window...
Is it an idiomatic way to mean something like: don't lose heart, it's just the first try...?
Thanks for your help.
