Bindweed or not?

I need help identifying a plant/weed.... Ive moved to a new house and had to totally revamp the garden beds...this grows in all the beds..It has some characteristics of bindweed,,,a netlike root system...grows at rapid rate... does not have the white trumpet flowers and doesnt grow tall and strangle...this is low growing..bushlike and has a delicate white flower with a yellow centre.....it has a very pungent smell if leaves are disturbed, Ive ripped up loads of the stuff and it just grows back.

Debs to post a picture click on the green tree icon on the toolbar above the dialogue box. From your description it isn't bindweed.
Ive tried that but for some reason my computer wont show me the upload or browse on the computer box so i can upload a pic x
Could it be Black Nightshade?

Ive tried to upload a pic but wen i click on the icon all i get on the computer tab is a blank page...theres no option to browse or upload from files
thats similar but it doesnt bear any fruit after flowering and the leaves are very much heart shaped like bindweed
Hmmm - where's Nutcutlet? She'll know ................

is there a reason i cant see the rest of the replies on here or is it just my computer being selective hahaha x
not sure if this has worked ive tried the URL link from a facebook pic
Sounds like Solanum dulcamara, bittersweet, woody nightshade. That's really pungent, especially when it goes through a shredder
