Sharing my wi-fi with a neighbour. Ramifications?

My neighbour came knocking yesterday asking if I had a wi-fi connection. She had her laptop in her hand and had been scanning for any connections nearby.

She said she had been made redundant and wanted to know if she could pay me to share my connection for a while. She said it's mainly for email and also the odd bit of job searching.

Now, she seems like a nice enough person, as does her boyfriend. But I am guessing that if they did do anything "wrong" (however unlikely that may be) that it would be me on the receiving end of any problems? I'm talking about them looking at stuff which maybe shouldn't be looked at.

No doubt I am being extremely paranoid, but better to be safe than sorry. Is there anyway I could monitor what she does while using my connection? I don't mean physically read any emails etc. Just monitor what websites they may visit, stuff like that.

Thanks for any advice.
