Invasive weed

The weed in the attached pic is taking over my rockery which is north facing and very damp. Any ideas what it is and the best way to protect against it

As far as I can see its Helxine, aka Mind your own business and Baby Tears. I know if it gets into a greenhouse it is a nuisance to get rid of; it used be sold as a house plant. I imagine if you either scrape it all up, or treat it with weedkiller you will get rid of it. I am not sure that it would survive a winter outside. Does it have any scent? It could just possibly be a dwarf mint.
