Spending whilst waiting for offer

Not sure if this is the right place to post this!

We have just had our mortgage approved in principle and now the full application has gone in and split or instructed. We are hoping to go abroad after 2 long years of saving after this process is all done, fingers crossed!

Flights are cheap now, will it affect our mortgage application if we book flights now? Sorry if this is a silly question but just don't want to ruin our chances after this long wait!

Many Thanks!

    I can't image a flight booked on a credit card which was paid off in full the next month would cause a problem, just don't spend the entire house deposit on a holiday instead...!

    It wouldn't even be booked on a credit card (I know it's better too!), just coming from surplus savings and my bonus this month. Am I overthinking things?!
