I need to be sure about their identity before I upload the pics to Bugfiles. Any second opinions ?
The first one is a Fence Post Jumper (Marpissa muscosa), according to me ;)
I identified the second one as Heliophanus flavipes. I couldn't find a common name.
The second one:
Looking at two of the pics on gardensafari your first one looks to be correct, however I don't know if there are any look-alikes either!

Your second spider does look to be correct too, this site seems to have many species usually found, I think it's an account of those found in a certain area.

The next site shows variations as these spiders usually are variable in pattern, but the species name 'flavipes' is the best clue as I'm sure you know, and usually refers to the leg colour of yellow.

Thanks Wallaby :)
I'll wait for another confirmation before putting it in Bug Files, just to be sure.
