No debt, saving for a mortgage, credit card use? Good/bad/indifferent?

Hello all. My wife and I have no debt and are saving for a mortgage. I use a credit card for general spending which I pay off in full every month. Will this cause any detrimental impact on our mortgage affordability or potential. Does using a credit card this way, rather than paying directly from my debit/bank account at the point of spend, have a negative slant for lenders (for example on an affordability statement).. In your experience. Thanks
