    A photo would help, but from your description it sounds like Goosegrass, also known as cleavers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galium_aparine

    Lads Love was one of the artemesias where I come from.

    I hate this one, I wear gloves to remove it but always get scratches up my arms.

    It does have little white flowers Polly, followed by large round seeds that also stick to everything and get spread around. Get it out before it does that

    If you can grab the plant near the bottom,right at soil level, you are more likely to be able to pull the roots out and so stop the plant just growing back. If you just grab further up, it will just break off at that point and regrow quickly.
