You write "2- I have proof of continues residence from Sept 2011 till today"
How is this when you've also said you left in August 2011 and returned in February 2012? A gap of 6 months.
Is your spouse British and are you still married?

Residential requirements

"In order to demonstrate the residential requirements for naturalisation you need to:

have been resident in the United Kingdom for at least three years (this is known as the residential qualifying period); and
have been present in the United Kingdom three years before the date of your application; and
have not spent more than 270 days outside the United Kingdom during the three-year period; and
have not spend more than 90 days outside the United Kingdom in the last 12 months of the three-year period; and
have not been in breach of the immigration rules at any stage during the three-year period.
Start of the residential qualifying period

The residential qualifying period will be worked out from the day we receive your application. Most unsuccessful applications fail because the applicant was not present in the United Kingdom at the beginning of the residential qualifying period. You must make sure you meet this requirement before you make your application. For example, if we received your application on 25 November 2005, you would have to show that you were in the United Kingdom on 26 November 2002.

You cannot count time you have spent in the United Kingdom while exempt from immigration control as part of the residential qualifying period. If you are in the United Kingdom as a diplomat or as a member of visiting armed forces or if you are in any place of detention, you would be considered exempt from immigration control. This time would be treated as absence from the United Kingdom."

This is the requirement so you should be able to work out when you can apply but you have to have been in the UK for 3 years

Any help please , as it's an urgent case and I will need to cancel my coming trips so I can stay in the 270 days.

Thank you Indeed

How can this be urgent you are nowhere near 3 year's residency?

,

You are eligible in July 2014 exactly 3 years after your first arrival on visitor visa assuming you meet other standard requirements.

Also as you left UK in August 2011 and returned again in Feb 2012 - so you had 150-160 days of absence that time. Plan you remaining holidays and try to limit total absence within 270 days.

,

total 270 with 90 in the last 12 months.
case workers can apply discretions if you exceed these thresholds but it's always better to stay within limit than depending on discretion.

I agree.

Point to be noted!

He's got good point. In my opinion it's not worth risking money. The delay is not so long. As an added bonus you don't need to cancel your holidays now.
