Fiddling around
When someone is just fiddling around with something, this means that they are not serious, could be experimenting, or are taking their time. Examples:
"He’s just fiddling around with that old TV set, he’ll never fix it because he doesn’t know how to" or "My girlfriend fiddled with the TV antennae, and now the picture for the football match comes in just perfect."
Fit as a fiddle
When someone is as fit as a fiddle, this is another way of saying that they are in very good shape or are doing just fine. Examples:
"When Arnold Schwarzenegger was in his prime, he was as fit as a fiddle," or
Fiddling away
When someone fiddles away at something, this can mean two things: either they are playing the instrument, or it means they are working away either at or on something. It could be serious, or it might not be.
Remember, when using the expressions, fiddling around vs. fiddling away, the former means that one is not necessarily serious, whereas when one fiddles away on some issue or problem, they can certainly be very serious and have every intention of solving the problem or issue.
