Weed Running Riot Near my Pond!

Hello.
I've got what I'm assuming is a weed running riot in my garden! It's on the ground on one side of the pond (not in the water) and is spreading over the ground. It's has small green leaves and is sort of ground cover. I think it's to do with the damp from the pond as it's quite lush.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what it is and how to get rid of it/stop it coming back?

I've been pulling it out and it's taking ages!

Thanks

    Not sure what it could be, but here are a few weed identification pages which may help you

    it could be 'mind-your-own buisness' (Soleirolia soleirolii), or 'creeping jenny' (Lysimachia Nummularia Green) if you do a quick internet search there are pics of both, if either - good luck getting rid!

    Jayar, I like that example of weeds. Especially as it shows the seedling stage. I'm tempted to "favouritise" it, but I've only just "weeded" out my favs as it was much too long.
