Hi!
Yes, it's more complicated - but in your case, absolutely no problem. The 180 day (six month) period doesn't have a firm start and end ("expiry") date. It's a sliding window. Out of any imaginable period of 180 days, you're only allowed to be in the Schengen area for 90 days. So count back. If you intend to enter the Schengen area on the 1st of February, count back 180 days (take 1 August for now since that's easier) and see. Since you entered the UK on the 21st of September, you'll count at most 51 days (less if you were in Turkey during August or September); that means you can stay in the Schengen area for 39 days without any trouble, and of course, you really could stay for 90 days again, since every day, an extra day is taken off from the start, and by the time you reach March 21, there won't be any more days counting against you from your summer travels.
Enjoy your travels!

Fantastic. Thanks so much! That's a big weight off my mind.
