[manci]

the relevant rule is on p27 of the ILR guidance:
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... iew=Binary

The continuous period is maintained if the:

 applicant leaves the UK without valid leave, but re-enters with new entry clearance within 28 days of their leave expiry date, or
 applicant leaves the UK with valid leave and re-enters the UK whilst that leave remains valid, provided the absence(s) do not exceed 180 days in a relevant 12 month period.

If the applicant’s leave expires whilst they are outside the UK and they apply for new entry clearance more than 28 days after their previous leave expires, then the continuous period is broken and leave is not aggregated.

According to the above your holidays did not break continuity of residence and you will be eligible for ILR
