Just wondering if this has been done before?

I know several women have had home birth after 1 , 2 and even 3 sections. You are certainly within your rights to have a homebirth! You are likely to not be allowed in a birthing centre though.
Having said that birthing centres are the same as home as they are not always within a corridor reach from a labour ward and give the same pain relief not more.
At home you are bound to have one to one care.

i never thought about hb until now and would love the idea of it. dont know how dh would feel though lol but i was told i HAVE to go to the hospital so i can be monitored because of scar erupture. I know most cases its fine and it just to be safe but i dread having to go into hospital (hate the place, the thought turn my stumack) would i be able to have gas and air at home?

You do not HAVE to be in hospital... it's NHS bullying....
Why did you have your section the 1st time?

it was emergancy c-s because ds was breech. I got to the stage i wanted to push but they wre telling me not to, rushing trying to get me in there! I was hoping if i did fine last time to that stage then i would be just as capable this time?

Absolutely.... and your chances of having a vaginal birth are high too.
