Default cracks at the ceiling wall joint

I live in a bungalow which was built in 1970 (36 years old) and
recently i have noticed cracks at the ceiling where it joins the wall.
Also across the ceiling itself and although the wall also has some
cracks there is no sign of cracks on any brick/supporting walls. ITS
ALL PLASTER OR PLASTERBOARD. I accept there has been a change in
temprature....is this to blame? or do i need to pay out for a
structural engineer to carry out a report. The cracks are getting
bigger on a daily basis but in most cases they are hairline cracks but
the ceiling wall ones are the diametre of say 'spaghetti'. PLEASE
ADVISE IT WILL BE GRAETLY APPRECIATED!
