Lady next door was moving house and gave me a couple of cuttings.
Not exactly sure of their identity.
First pic she said was a type of melon.
Second pic i'm guessing is a type of Fuschia.
Any help would be appreciated.

The yellow flower could be a hibiscus or as @Owdboggy says, an abutilon .. both lovely flowers.

The first pic shows a Pepino (Solanum muricatum), an evergreen shrub in the Nightshade family (Solanaceae) that produces a sweet, edible fruit. The fruit pictured might not be ripe, as most cultivars develop purple stripes on the fruit when ripe. Originally native to Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, the Pepino is now grown worldwide in tropica nd mild temperate areas for its delicious fruit.

The second pic shows a yellow and red flower of a Garden Abutilon (Callianthe x hybrida cv., formerly Abutilon x hybridum). Also known as Lantern Flowers or Flowering-maples, Callianthe is genus of flowering shrubs and perennials in the Mallow Family (Malvaceae), native to Mexico, Central America, and tropical South America. The genus was segregated from Abutilon on the basis of molecular phylogenetic data.
