Patsy and Mow, it is difficult to describe, the leaves of the first are terribly thin so doesn't feel like sweet williams and aren't the leaves too narrow for campanula?
Myosotis looks good for 3 and the leaf of 2 indeed looks like fuchsia but again, terribly wispy.
There are numerous species of campanulas. There are the notorious species like Campanula raunculoides and Campanula garganica, which are somewhat of a weed in many peoples' eyes due to their rhyzomous roots that creep or get into places that make them practically impossible to dig out of.
Canterbury Bells (Campanula medium) are a lot less invasive and although they look very different (particularly in the shape of the leaves), they all belong to the same happy family.

Anyone?
The 2nd plant has a slight red tinge to the ribs, not unlike a fuchsia.
Second one looks like sage. Do the leaves smell?
All of them look like very young plants and it's hard to tell from the pics but will give it a shot
1) Looks like Campanula medium (AKA Canterbury Bells)
2) Possibly a young fuschia
3) Possibly forget-me-nots (Myositis)
I meant to add that sage appears in the background of a lot of the pics.
Sorry B3. I'm afraid I have kerfuzzled you. There is indeed a sage plant behind - well spotted.

(Sorry about the sage lurking in the background.)
Thanks

Here's a link to how they look:

I think these plants may be ex-Homebase throw-outs, taken out of their tiddly containers. Maybe I should have mentioned that earlier, soz.
Hi Daisy. Just been out in my garden and spotted leaves like in your first picture - no guarantees
but they do look a lot like my Osteospermum leaves.
