    First I am unsure if this is a weed or not, it does have yellow flowers at times

    The first one looks like Lysimachia and the second may be Syringa or Lilac. The picture is not clear enough to be sure. Sorry!

        Er, Lysimachia and Loosestrife are not the same thing. Loosestrife is Lythrum salicaria with pink/purple flowers, occasionally white. Lysimachia is related to Primroses etc. If the top one has yellow flowers then it is Lysimachia. Though having said that Lysimachia is sometimes referred to as Gooseneck Loosestrife, which I have to confess I have never heard or seen used.
