As of now the rules for ILR says that you have to be Physically in UK for 5 years. and you can apply for ILR 28 days before you finish your 5 years.

So, your 5 years clock starts from the day you land in UK and not from the day your visa is stamped.

Always make sure you apply before your visa expires.

I'm presuming you came here on a spouse visa, and if so the earliest you can apply is 28 days prior to the 14/12/2010, which I think is the 17/11/2010. This is of course assuming the rules haven't changed by then.
