      Thank you, I'll be leaving to do what it wants I think. It's not offending me...yet.

      Oh lovely!

      On second thoughts I think I'm trying to get the ID for the wrong plant. The seed leaves for the Ground Ivy are large like these I think:

      But the others popping up around it are like this:

      These aren't the same plant are they?

        Thanks Coolsox, I'll wait and see what happens to it then, doesn't look too bad looking at google images.
