I've got 900 status points and only 3 eligible flights so I'm one flight short
problem is I live in London now and my anniversary date is 30 June
is there any way to get on a code share out of lhr ?
 
QF2 or QF10 are your only options out of LHR I believe - all the codeshares would require an inbound QF flight I believe?

Edit: You can also book the LHR/LGW-DXB codeshares but the pricing is astronomical.

Out of interest, why the focus on Qantas if you now live in the UK? I understand that you have quite a few status credits earned through other airlines, but have you considered other airlines frequent flyer programs? Some of the members on this forum swear by those other programs :)

Think you're stuck with a flight to Singapore as a minimum. The BA codeshares require a QF connection.
 
The only other option, if QF1/2 to SIN is very expensive would be finding your way to an appropriate destination in Asia (eg SIN, NRT, SGN, HAN, BKK, RGN, KUL, HKG, CGK etc). on cheapest fare on any airline you like and then taking a Jetstar flight with points earning bundle.
 
You can get a QF code on some domestic UK and Europe short-haul routes (e.g. ABZ-LHR), but only as part of a longer itinerary through to Singapore (or Australia/NZ) unfortunately.

If you don't have a reason to travel to Singapore before your anniversary date (June 30), you could still book an ABZ-LHR-SIN-LHR trip with a stopover in LHR, taking the ABZ-LHR flight now but not flying to SIN until later in the year (or even next year). See example below.
