Weed Identification Help!!

Hi,

I am new to these boards today and found this very interesting forum whilst trying to identify something new that has popped up in my garden and wondered if anyone on this forum might be able to help me please?
I would love to know what it is (even if it's a weed).
To me they look a little like the leaves of a stock but they keep growing upwards with not a flower or bud in sight. The stems are quite thick and almost woody and there is a redish colour at the base of the plant.
If anyone is able to identify these I would love to know.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

 

I think a weed and I think if I remember it has tiny pink flowers ansd feels smooth/wooly to the touch
I know somone on here will tell you what it is

Thanks Spruce for initial thoughts. It does feel slightly woolly to the touch but certainly no sign of any flowers yet, let alone pink. I only noticed them about a month ago and thought maybe I had planted it and forgot but they seem to be popping up at different areas in the flower bed. I have not pulled them out hoping they might be a perennial I had forgotten about but now if I find they are weeds it's going to take me quite a bit of time to get them all out

 

ive got some aswell and some that dont feel furry to touch which look similar so ive pulled them ones out but kept the furry ones lol so il be interested to find out aswell x

 

Thanks everyone for your suggestions - looks like I might be busy tomorrow trying to get rid of all these weeds.

 

Whilst young I do find them easy to pull up; especially after all the rain we had yesterday...:D

We have a 'wild' strip along one fence though where I leave them be as they are quite attractive wildflowers..:thumb:
