Does anyone have any idea what this weed is?

It's growing all over my mum's garden and it's an absolute nightmare. It kind of looks like clover or shamrock, and has small pale pink-purple-whitish flowers. I was thinking it might be some sort of wood-sorrel but the flowers are always in a sort of bell shape so I wanted to get another opinion.

Thanks for any help you can give!

Looks like oxalis

Agree with @B3, it's Oxalis acetosella (Wood sorrel.)

I've got the deep red leaved version of this with the little yellow flowers, it's a nightmare every time you turn round it's sprung up somewhere else. Any ideas on how to get rid of this.
