I have a pot!
 
After buying a nice set of 3 crock pots from Big W I am left with the
smallest which is approx 15cm across.

I would like to put a small house plant in it, but can you reccommend one
that:

a) Won't get too big and need transferring to another pot.

b) Doesn't require too much sun.

c) Looks nice throughout the year (does matter if it is plants all the time
or just nice foliage).

Many thanks!

peace lily. Mine grow happily in a fireplace in the middle of the room
with very little natural light.

Glossy green leaves most of the year, occasional flowers in the form of
white spike surrounded by arum lily-like sheath

They react to lack of water by dramatic flopping of leaves and stems in
complete collapse over the edge of the pot, but recover if you then
stand the pot in deep water for a few hours - obviously it's best if you
don't make a habit of drying them out this far! ;-)

Various dracaena for foliage - I have one with dark green leaves with
light green and white longitudinal stripes.

No, it is just that top posting is such a pain in the arse!

Example

A: Because it is crap


Q: Why is top posting bad?

Or even worse, if you get someone who top posts, followed by someone who
posts normally but doesn't paste the original reply to the bottom, followed
by someone who top posts!? How on earth would you follow that thread
properly! Top posting is bad and it is because of software like Outlook
that people do it so much, Outlook makes no effort to stop people top
posting, in fact it places the cursor complete with a new line, right at the
top of the message.. grrr.

And as for people who 'post normally' but don't bother to snip, so you
have to tab down through *four* screens before you get to a reply!

Several people wrote various things.......

HUGE SNIP

and even worse are people who don't edit posts so that they become three pages
long and IMO unreadable
