A GRAN accidentally ruined her granddaughter’s new £65 trainers – by writing her name in sharpie on the side.
Altine Bootha-King shared a hilarious image of her daughter, Amelia’s, shoes – with blue pen marks on the side.

She revealed she didn’t realise Amelia needed her PE kit today, after sending her off to her first day of school, so she enlisted the help of her mum.
Altine asked her mum to write Amelia’s name inside her shoes, ready for her to pick up later.
But her mum got things a bit muddled, and ended up writing Amelia’s name on the white side of the sole – in permanent marker.
Sharing the hilarious mishap on Facebook group The Motherload, Altine said: “So I take my daughter to school and I’m told she has PE.

“I didn’t bring her kit because I didn’t think she’d need it.
“Anyway I call my mum and ask her to write my child’s name IN her trainers ready for me to pick up and she writes her name as follows on her new £65 trainers – with a sharpie.”
She ended her post with the hashtag #firstdayofschool.
Her post has racked up nearly 3,000 likes, as fellow parents sympathised with the blunder.
Commenting on the post, one person said: “Sorry for laughing but this is hilarious kinda wish I’d of written on the front of my daughters lunch box now.”
Another mum wrote: “Colour the whole section in on both shoes and make it part of the pattern.”
A third added: “This may be the best thing I’ve seen all week. My mum would have gotten such a row.”
Agreeing, this parent said: “This is like something my Mum would do!”
Hundreds also suggested tips to remove the pen, including hairspray, WD40, The Body Shop camomile butter, nail varnish remover and a magic sponge.
Plus parents have been warned not to post back to school photos amid fears paedophiles could use them to track down kids.
Meanwhile we recently revealed Princess Charlotte could be learning French as she starts school this month.
And from Ella to Joseph, these are the names of the naughtiest school kids.
