how soon before your expiration date were you able to do that as my US license will expire whilst I am out 
of the country.

Don,

I did mine last August, a few weeks before it was to expire.   Within a few
days you will show up on the FCC site and others like QRZ, showing an
effective date.   That date will be whatever date it was processed  and put
into effect.   Your new expiration date will not change, it will still be 10
years     from your original exp date.  You don't get any extra time by
renewing early.
