As you say, the met office site only goes up to 84 hrs (saturday) http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/surface_pressure.html, 

The ECMWF site ( http://www.ecmwf.int/products/forecasts/d/charts/medium/deterministic/) offers predictions for a further week and shows a low with pressure 985hPa over TF on Tuesday ending up in the north sea between GM/OZ/LA on Thursday 15th.  Is 985 particularly bad?  Wednesday looks a bit grim (Northern GM and Shetland excepted :-) 

Do you have a link to your "netherlands info"?
