Returning to UK on ILR after 23 months absence

[DB 9]

Hi all,

On the 22nd of November I am flying back to the UK after 23 months of absence. I have an ILR that i obtained in june 2005, have all other docs i.e payslips from time there, bank statements, tax documents etc. Checking the letter i received from the home office it states that i should not be away for more than 2 years. Is there anything else i need? Am i missing anything? I am looking for the most hassle free way i can go about this...a friend even suggested i fly through Ireland if i am loathe to use Heathrow..Any ideas or tips...
