You can normally apply for ILR 2 years less 28 days from date of entry. So if you entered the UK on Dec 24 2005, you can apply on Nov 26 2007. Since your visa expires before that, you'll need to first apply for an extension of your spouse visa, then apply for ILR on or after Nov 26.

Bear in mind that you don't have much time, so get your FLR application in order. Also, you'll need to pass the Life in the UK test for ILR.
