Thank you all SO much everyone, really appreciate your help this morning.

Best wishes, enjoy the rest of Sunday. Chox.
Would some kind person please explain archways and hyper. Brain not working this morning.
Thanks
Archways are entrances.
Arch = Playful...Ways = kinds of behaviour

Hyper - Energetic person ....Hype = promotion
Thanks Kayakamina. Hadn't come across arch in this sense -only in the sense of arch enemy. It has never previously occured to me that "you'd better mend your ways" meant "you'd better improve your behaviour".
I really am being dense this morning but if promotion is hype , where does the r come from, please?
I took it that someone working hard on promotion was a Hyper, and an extremely energetic person.
