the residential requirements are straight forward:
In order to demonstrate the residential requirements for naturalisation you need to:
-have been resident in the United Kingdom for at least three years (this is known as the residential qualifying period); and
-have been present in the United Kingdom three years before the date of your application; and
-have not spent more than 270 days outside the United Kingdom during the three-year period; and
-have not spend more than 90 days outside the United Kingdom in the last 12 months of the three-year period

From you you were writing, it sounded like you do not meet these requirements. The earliest you can apply is Oct 2011 if you moved here in Oct 2008.
