I am going to combine all answers so that it is easy for everyone to see. All credit goes to Hellion, Gamow and Vikram.

  1. AGE BUT

    Age before beauty (B-U-T)

  2. marri Ag e

    Ag=silver with marriage = Silver wedding anniversary

  3. wWoOlOfL

    Wolf in WOOL = Wolf in sheep's clothing

  4. "24 Hours"

    Multiple possibilities:
    Call it a day
    Quote of the day

  5. TRADI TION

    Break with tradition

  6. HEAD ACHE

    Splitting headache

  7. WHEATHER

    Bad spell of weather

  8. SGEG

    Permutation of EGGS = Scrambled eggs

  9. TOSYOBSYOBWN

    BOYS BOYS backwards, inside TOWN = The Boys are Back in Town

  10. ALL world

    It's a small world after all!

    $\begingroup$ 1 and 10: great solutions! For 7, I think it should rather be "spell of bad weather". $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ What is "all day packed"? I've never heard this phrase and a Google does not come up with anything promising right off hand. $\endgroup$
