if I remember correctly, you've only submitted your application in June/July. If so, then it has only been about 4 months since your application. You worry too early, the Euro department is in mess and takes ages to process applications.
Relax, and get on with your Christmas shopping . I very much doubt you'll get anything before Christmas (6 months from your application).

Have seen your other message - you applied too early in 2007, so it doesn't count. Your clock started ticking when you applied in June.
By the time you'll receive your PR stamp, it will be time to apply for naturalisation
