Suggestions for a durable, washable paint

I've got 2 kids and one DH who seem to get marks everywhere in our house. When we moved in we quickly realised the paint was not washable - one wipe and everything came off, plus no matter how much you wring out a damp cloth, the moisture seems to mark the wall. I believe it's probably either a mist coat or the paint was watered down so much that it's really thin.

That being said, I want a paint that doesn't require too many coats as I'm doing it myself and have only got 8 hours spread across a week to try and get this done in. It's for hallways (and living room later), I need something that's durable and can take a quick wipe down after sticky hands, a drink or mud has come into contact with it.

Any recommendations for a good brand & range?

Dulux Easycare, 2 coats is enough unless you are painting over a much darker colour.
It doesn’t wipe off as easily as a silk finish but I managed to get most marks off with one of those magic eraser sponge things.
