Bottom one could be bindweed. If it is dig it all out and don't leave any little bits of root cos each bit will grow into a new plant. Horrible stuff  >:(

Top 1 looks like my cosmos seedlings.

The rest are weeds in my allotment (bottom one isn't bindweed, though).
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Yes.

Feathery foliage once the true leaves come out.  Daisy like plants.

I have googled spurge and you may just be right, but there are many different varieties. Any recommendations on these? Worth keeping or pull up?

We have had about 15-20 off these shoot up in the garden this year, god knows where they have came from.

That looks like caper spurge to me, which is a weed that seeds itself around.  It has a milky sap which can be a skin irritant, so handle with care when you pull it up  :)

Photo 2 is celandine. A lovely wild flower but spreads by roots and little bulbils, though killed by weedkiller.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

It's not often I disagree with you, Trillium, but that looks too rosette-like in the general direction of the leaves for it to be bindweed.

I agree that it looks more like celandine

I agree with Newshoot, its a caper spurge.
I actually made a point of growing some of these, very elegant plant.
