    Think the first one is Geum urbanum - a bit of a PITA - I’d pull it out if I were you. 

    The sevond looks like Creeping Jenny http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/plants/plant_finder/plant_pages/515.shtml

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    ah right, so we could leave the creeping jenny? That would be fab as there's masses of it!!

    Does the Geum Urbanum spread too much? Why would you pull it out? There's not so much of this at the moment!!

    Thank you!

    There will be next year !!!  The seeds get everywhere ... the flowers are less than insignificant ... not a patch on its wild cousin Geum rivale which we have by our pond ... it's gorgeous https://www.watersidenursery.co.uk/geum-rivale-water-avens-british-native.

    :D I did wonder!! I'll take those ones out then!
    Thank you for letting me know what each one is - it's been really helpful. There will no doubt be something else I'll come across!

    Last one looks like Geum Urbanum (wood avens).

    The one above it looks like creeping Lysimachia (creeping Jenny) but I can't be sure.

    Which has made me wonder if F is Lysimachia Punctata.
