Multiple hairline cracks appearing after reskimmed living room

Hiya, Hope somebody can help. Basically we had our living room reskimmed about 6-8 weeks ago and in the past few days I have noticed multiple hairline cracks, some not that long and some spanning a good distance. The hairline cracks are on all different walls, above picture rails, above where the radiator is and underneath where a mirror is hung and also a few random ones. I understand with drying out/movement etc this can happen, we have previously had other rooms done and we had a couple appear in kitchen which was just caulked and repainted but not to this degree. I am concerned that more and more are going to appear and basically will have to have it replastered again or is this fairly normal? We had the work done when it was just warm in weather and now obviously it is getting a little colder. We originally left it to dry out for a couple of weeks before giving it the first coat of emulsion etc. Any help please?
