I have started to get cracks along the lines where the ceiling meets the walls, and where the skirting boards meet the walls. It has only just started happening, anyone know why??

It depends where you are. In many places in Aus, I know for sure in Melbourne, lots of places are cracking because of the drought. The soil has lost a great deal of moisture and has started to shrink, causing movement, causing cracking in houses. There's not a great deal you can do about it, except wait for rain. Not much point in repairing it at the moment as it will just crack again.
