Cracks

Hey guys back for more advice : D

We have noticed recently in our property many cracks appearing in the plaster upstairs. We live in a 3 bed mid terraced property 100 years old +

Here are the cracks.

The walls have been plastered in the past couple of years I'm guessing from the looks. We have lived in the house for 3 months now. I know this isn't much to go off but would these cracks be down to the house temperature changing etc or could we have underlying structural issues? We didn't have a structural survey done when we bought the property but we are thinking we may need to get one now.

They are nothing. Don't waste any money on a surveyor.

As Joe says, they're nothing really.

Ok that's great. I guess it'll be a case of a DIY repair? I'll have a look for guides on how to do it. I take it it's possible for a complete novice like me to repair?
